“The case of Regent College International Schools in Elbląg is especially interesting. There aren’t many schools in Poland offering Cambridge IGCSE and A-level programmes and those that deliver these programmes are few, have very high numbers of students and are located almost exclusively in Warsaw. Among Polish high-schools accredited for the Cambridge programmes, Regent College is the only school based in a smaller city and offering more intimate atmosphere”.

Lessons are delivered exclusively in English by our highly qualified teachers. We use Cambridge University Press textbooks developed for the Cambridge IGCSE subjects. At the end of the second year students can take IGCSE exams (International General Certificate of Secondary Education).
All international students also attend classes in Polish as a foreign language. All students participate in PE lessons and, if English is not their native language, also in English language classes with an emphasis on grammar and communication.
Stage 2 (year 3 and 4 of high school) – International AS and A-level
In the third and fourth year of high school, students choose 3-4 subjects that they want to continue at As/A-Level. The exams that they will be sitting at the end of each of these two years will enable them to apply for university admission all over the world.
The choice of subjects depends on the university degree programme for which the student wants to apply. These 3-4 selected subjects are delivered in English, following the Cambridge syllabuses (see the listing below for the details of the AS/A-Level courses).
For international students the only additional subject in the third and fourth year of high school is Polish as a foreign language.
