BISG International Bilingual High School
BISG International Bilingual High School
Our four-year international bilingual secondary school offers a modern, stimulating learning environment, combining the Polish national curriculum with international educational standards.
Students begin their journey in the pre-IB programme (Grades 10–11), designed to prepare them for the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IB DP), which they follow in their final two years of high school.
Curriculum
The curriculum is based on BISG’s original educational programmes, which integrate the Polish core curriculum with international teaching standards in Grades 10–11 (equivalent to the first two years of high school in Poland). Our mission is to nurture well-rounded, reflective, and globally aware citizens. In the pre-IB classes, students follow an extended curriculum in mathematics and English. Most subjects — except for foreign languages and Polish — are taught in English. Polish students follow the national curriculum in Polish language, history, and geography in Polish. International students attend Polish as a foreign language. We emphasize project-based learning, the development of independent study skills, peer learning, and effective teamwork. Throughout the academic year, students take part in a variety of educational trips and projects that support and enhance in-class learning.

Model United Nations

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.
