About Akademeia
Akademeia High School is a new international, academically selective school in Warsaw, offering IGCSEs and A Levels alongside Akademeia Assessed Courses. Our school focuses on developing both students’ academic abilities and their artistic, athletic and leadership potential. The majority of our students are preparing to study at Oxbridge, Russell group, and Ivy League universities as well as acclaimed architecture, art and music schools. The school offers a substantial scholarship programme with about 20% of students being scholars. We offer a rigorous admissions process and A Level classes taught in the form of undergraduate seminars, the school pursues a pre-university university model. Our A Level results are comparable to the top 25 public schools in the UK.
The school boasts of a vibrant academic community that is actively engaged in shaping the school’s ethos. We are both informed by tradition, as many teachers have experience of studying and teaching in the UK, and inspired by new developments in education, e.g. the Harkness Table method, interdisciplinary projects, blended learning and formative assessment. The maximum class size is 12, which allows our students to benefit from more focused and personalised teaching.
In September 2017, the school moved to a state-of-the-art, purpose-designed building with modern facilities for both students and teachers.
