Akademeia High School
Opened in 2016, Akademeia High School is an international school in Warsaw that carefully selects its students based on academics. They offer IGCSEs, A Levels, and Akademeia Assessed Courses to prepare students for top global universities. The school starts by evaluating each student's academic potential.
With a thorough admission process and A Level classes taught like college seminars, the school follows a pre-university model. Many students aim to attend prestigious universities like Oxbridge, Russell Group, and the top ones in the US and Europe. The recent A Level results match those of the UK's top 10 public schools, with 91% receiving A and A* grades. Akademeia High School has a robust scholarship program, allocating 10% of spots for merit-based, partial, and complete scholarships. Additionally, the school, in partnership with the Akademeia High School Foundation, supports various educational outreach and community engagement initiatives.
Starting at the first level, students choose an academic pathway like Biochemistry, Engineering, Social Sciences, Humanities, Architecture, or Creative Arts, in addition to mandatory subjects. In grade III, they select 3-4 topics from a wide range for their secondary school-leaving examination, allowing them to pursue their chosen direction.
Akademeia High School supports selecting the right educational path during recruitment, where counselors evaluate students' abilities and help them choose subjects. Throughout their learning journey, each student has a mentor to monitor progress, suggest solutions, offer advice on subject selection, and help plan a developmental path.
Using the project method, the school emphasizes a holistic approach to education, focusing on critical thinking, communication, creativity, teamwork, and information gathering. Akademeia High School offers two high school programs - a two- and four-year program, extending general education and improving English proficiency. The language of instruction is English, and the school year is divided into three semesters. Another unique aspect is the 'student' houses, following the British school model, where houses compete.
