Cracow International School follows the Cambridge Primary Programme, designed for children aged 5 to 11. This programme provides a high-quality international education that develops students’ overall skills while strengthening their knowledge in English, Mathematics, and Science. All core subjects are taught entirely in English, ensuring students gain strong academic foundations in an English-medium environment.
The Cambridge Primary Programme is flexible and can be implemented in both English-only and bilingual schools. It is also fully compatible with national curricula in the countries where it is offered, making it a seamless choice for international education.
