Why Choose the Thames International Primary School in Warsaw?

Thames British School Warsaw is a highly regarded international primary school in Warsaw for expats and international-minded Polish families. It follows the British curriculum which is widely recognised as being one of the best in the world, helping students to think critically and analytically instead of learning in ‘parrot fashion’.

At the Thames International Primary School in Warsaw, children take Key Stage 1 of the British curriculum from the ages of 5 to 7. Our philosophy at this stage is to help children develop as confident, enthusiastic learners through the provision of an engaging, broad and rich curriculum. Children learn to express themselves clearly and creatively whilst laying the foundation for the academic and social skills that will be developed throughout their school career.

Children aged 8 to 11 take Key Stage 2, in which we focus primarily on exposing pupils to a wider range of topics for them to inform their choices when continuing their education in later years. The curriculum provides the structure for pupils to develop their inquisitive nature skills, develop techniques in collaborative working and independent study, as well as educating them in a well-rounded manner and giving them a chance to develop lifelong interests and skills. At this stage students also go from learning purely observable concepts through Science to understanding more complex and abstract concepts.
