Secondary
Bilingual Departments
This is a bilingual class with English as the language of instruction, where all subjects are taught in English except for the Polish language, and the history and geography of Poland.
Our Curriculum
We primarily use our own BISG programs, which are in line with the Polish national curriculum.
In our secondary school, we bridge the Polish and international curricula with bilingual education, aligning the Polish National Curriculum to international standards for classes 10-11 (1-2 LO).
Our approach to education is based on several key principles that sets us apart from other schools. We aim to provide a comprehensive education focused on developing versatile, reflective, and conscious global citizens.

Extra-Curricular Activities
Model United Nations
Our school actively participates in UN simulation conferences, allowing students to develop diplomatic and debating skills on an international platform.
STEM Fair
We organize annual STEM fairs where students present their projects in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
Public Speaking
Students have the opportunity to participate in Oxford-style debates and TEDx-style student talks, enhancing their argumentation and public speaking skills.
Cross-Curricular
Teachers collaboratively plan interdisciplinary projects that help students understand the connections between topics and their real-life context.
Integration Trips
We organise integration trips, during which the entire class has opportunity to get to know each other better and bond.
Language Trips
Students can participate in language trips to countries such as Spain, France, or Germany, allowing them to apply their language skills in authentic contexts.
Theatre Performances
We organize theatre performances where our students perform on real theatre stages, developing their acting talents and creativity.
Musical Productions
BISG puts on an annual musical production, which includes our entire school community – from students, to staff to parents.
The Diploma Programme (DP) curriculum is made up of six subject groups and the DP core, comprising theory of knowledge (TOK), creativity, activity, service (CAS) and the extended essay. Through the Diploma Programme (DP) core, students reflect on the nature of knowledge, complete independent research and undertake a project that often involves community service. Read about the DP curriculum. Find out more about the Diploma Programme (DP), including information on pathways to university, employment and on who can offer the programme.

Modern Foreign Languages
At BISG, we understand the importance of multilingualism as a gateway to success on an international stage and so, even though English is our primary language for teaching, we highly value the first languages of our students as well as other languages they will acquire with us.
All students learn Polish alongside one of the three other languages offered: Spanish, French and German.
