Our History

SEPTEMBER 2024 - we opened the new branch at 36a Wiertnicza St. The school now operates in three buildings: 36a Wiertnicza St (Year 0-1), 75 Wiertnicza St (Year 2-4) and 43 Wiertnicza St (Year 5-8).

DECEMBER 2022 - The school has been awarded Council of British International Schools (COBIS) Patron status. The accreditation process was completed in November and PBAW is now one of only three schools in Poland to have received this title.

SEPTEMBER 2018 - we opened our new branch at 43 Wiertnicza St. The school now operates in two buildings: 75 Wiertnicza 75 St (Year 0-3) and 43 Wiertnicza St (Year 4-8).

MAY 2017 - The school has been awarded the status of Member of the Council of British International Schools (COBIS). We have thus met all the conditions and passed the verification process to become a member of British International Schools.

As of September 1, 2016, our school has changed its name to the Polish British Academy of Warsaw - Jan III Sobieski Primary School. The school's motto is ‘With silence no language is learned...’, which are words of Jakub Sobieski, father of the king Jan III Sobieski.

During the winter holidays, in February 2015 we moved to the building at 75 Wiertnicza St. We moved four grades to the new building, but by September 2015 there were already seven of them.

In 2014, we applied for membership of the Council of British International Schools (COBIS). After a year and a half, we became a COBIS member in September 2015 and were awarded Candidate School status.

In 2012, we opened Kids' Academy Primary School. At the beginning we ran a Year 0 and 1, which operated in the kindergarten building, at Arbuzowa St.

In 2007 we opened the kindergarten in Warsaw which is much bigger than the one in Konstancin. We run two groups of each grade with children aged 2,5 to 6 years.

In 2004 we opened our first Kids' Academy kindergarten in Konstancin-Jeziorna at 38 Łąkowa St. It has been operating for 10 years and educated around 600 well-prepared first graders.
