The school has a demanding, international education programme, qualified IB staff, very individual approach to students and their parents. Highly recommend the school.

1) This is NOT an international school! It is a Polish school, calling itself "international". 2) The Director is a bully who will bully just about anyone - parents, children... My advice, when choosing a school, never choose one where the owner is also a director. If they happen to be problematic, you have no other choice but to leave.....and the turnover here is huge.

MIS is using the IB programme as its major PR stunt. Unfortunately, there is a big discrepancy between the PR and the actual virtues of the school. Simply put, the school doesn't walk the talk. The atmosphere is unfriendly. Leadership is constantly downplaying students' bad results and poor ranking, dismissing this as irrelevant. Absolutely not worth the money.

An excellent school for children who want to develop holistically. The program IB is one of the best program created around the world. The teachers are passionate and devote a lot of energy to their pupils. The school is well-equipped and organizes a lot of events during the school year: meetings with famous people, festivals. There is also a school paper where student can write articles in 3 languages, a debate club, an English book club, the theatre. All such activities are included in the fees.

The MIS school has one major problem - owner/director (one person). She appears charismatic at first sight and is quite skillful at making a good first impression - especially when recruiting into the school. However, dealing with her (as a parent of a student) was a horror story. Emotional, irrational, arrogant, stubborn. In fact, she is a perfect demagogue. She tends to have her "favourites" among teachers who are loyal to her, and these can get away with anything. Including insulting students and hate speech in a classroom. There is a huge student turnover in the school (90% in 2 years in our child's class). And the owner has a lot to do with it. But she doesn't care. She is counting on new naive parents buying her story. Just like we once did. Also, for 3.600 Zl a month (+lunches and various other contributions), the school doesn't offer any outdoor space children could use. Throughout the whole day, they are squeezed into small classrooms and narrow corridors. PE is organized in an external building where students have to get by bus... Advertised as international - nearly all teachers and students are Polish, with some teachers making mistakes when speaking English. I just can't recommend to anyone.
