beginnings of our community
Opened in 1993 as the American International School of Kraków, ISK was originally a satellite campus of the American School of Warsaw, established to serve the families of the U.S. Consulate in Kraków. ISK quickly grew, however, as American and International families discovered an option for the education of their children that would be closer to the high quality learning they had always known and set them up for success when they returned back home. The school continued to grow and thrive, becoming accredited by both the Council of International Schools and the New England Association of Schools and Colleges, eventually also adopting the world recognized International Baccalaureate Program and celebrating the graduation of a series of highly successful classes who headed off to study at prestigious universities around the world
decision to move
As the school continued to grow, it became apparent that ISK needed a home of its own. Having already moved within the city limits a couple of times, the decision to head to Lusina, on the outskirts of Kraków, was made very consciously. ISK wanted to be able to offer our students not only room to grow, but open space to play, classes designed with their learning in mind, and ready access to a forest and natural surroundings.
We are international.
With a staff consisting of highly qualified, creative, caring teachers from Poland, the U.K., Spain, Germany, France, Asia, the U.S.A., Canada and around the world, we are a truly multicultural institution, serving an even more diverse multicultural community.
