What the authorisation covers
Authorisation applies to the IB Diploma Programme, the two year course taken in Grades 11 and 12. It is granted after a formal review of teaching, staff qualifications, resources and the school’s ability to deliver the programme properly, and it is renewed through periodic evaluation rather than granted once and forgotten.
Our Middle School is a candidate school for the IB Middle Years Programme. Candidate status is a stage in the authorisation process and is not the same as being authorised. We state the difference plainly because it matters to families comparing schools.
What our students achieved in the May 2026 session
Average diploma score 34, against a worldwide average of about 30.6. Highest individual score in the group, 41. Average subject grade 5.36, against a worldwide 4.97. The full table is on the IB Diploma results page and is updated after each May session.
Reading this alongside the other two
The IB authorisation is one of three the school holds. Cognia accredits the American High School Diploma, and the Polish Ministry of Education covers the Matura. Holding all three at once is what allows a student to choose a route in Grade 10 without changing school. The three diploma pathways page sets them out together.
For how the Diploma actually runs here, including the core requirements and who the programme suits, see the IB Diploma Programme at IAS Warsaw.
