Our mission

A well-rounded education that helps young people grow into responsible, open-minded citizens of the world.

The International American School of Warsaw offers an education that develops responsible and dynamic world citizens. Established in 1989, IAS was one of the first international schools in the city, and we have been teaching students from kindergarten to grade 12 ever since.

Nature and progress, side by side

Our campus sits in the Kabaty neighbourhood, surrounded by the Kabaty forest reserve. It gives students a rare blend of green space and a forward-looking community.

Our curriculum reflects that same balance. We make room for growth and ambition alongside quiet reflection, so children learn to think as well as achieve.
