Warsaw · time both gates
Warsaw is not one international campus. It is a British house on two city addresses, and an American IB continuum south in Bielawa. You will pay in złoty, or in dollars and złoty. Time the road.
Warsaw is not “the international school.” It is a Polish city whose liceum mornings are allowed to be first, plus two official English-facing doors posting families name in the first week.
The portraits we have are The British School Warsaw and the American School of Warsaw. Use them for published 2026/27 figures. TBS bills in PLN. ASW bills in USD and PLN. This note is the city between them. The Poland country page is the wider map.
TBS sits on two Warsaw addresses. Early Years on ul. J. Dąbrowskiego in Upper Mokotów. Primary and Secondary on ul. Limanowskiego in Sadyba. Official site lives on nordangliaeducation.com/tbsw-warsaw. British path into IB or A-Levels, and a native Polish track. Early Years is not the same gate as the IB building.
ASW sits in Bielawa, Konstancin-Jeziorna, ul. Warszawska 202. Not Śródmieście. IB continuum plus an American diploma. The library catalogue and a Wrocław school on a similar acronym are not this school.
They share a metropolitan Tuesday and almost no Monday. Walk both, then a neighbourhood liceum.
If you might stay, an English IB or a set of A-Levels is not automatically the kindest paper. A state liceum, a podstawa programowa that still takes Polish seriously — those are official mornings. Families looking at TBS often also walk a Polish door in the same week.
The language of the yard is the test. A child can thrive in English at 9 a.m. and still be lonely at 11 if the park is speaking Polish.
Ask which paper this child will hold — IB, A-Levels, an American diploma, or a Polish path. Ask TBS which of the two city gates this child stands in. Time Sadyba and Bielawa on the same Tuesday. The commute is not a footnote.
The city hub is the short map. The two portraits are the long ones.
Friendly orientation, not formal admissions advice. Always confirm dates with the school.
The campus is in Bielawa, not Śródmieście. The official site is aswarsaw.org. The library catalogue and a Wrocław school on a similar acronym are not this school. You will pay in USD and in PLN.
WarsawThe official site lives on nordangliaeducation.com/tbsw-warsaw. Email still says thebritishschool.pl. There are two addresses. You will pay in PLN. Early Years is not the same gate as the IB building.
The letters on the leaver’s certificate matter. They are not the whole child. Here is how to tell them apart without a headache, and without pretending every door stays open.
16 minYou do not need a perfect algorithm. You need a few true things about your child, a boring list on the fridge, and the courage to ignore a beautiful campus that does not fit.
15 minTuition is the number on the homepage. The PDF is the number that arrives in March. Here is how to read the second one, without inventing a euro, a krona, or a deadline.
12 minSkip the question about last year’s average. Ask the ones that make a teacher’s face change. Then look at the corridor while they answer.
