Getting into a top university isn’t just about good grades - it starts with choosing the right school environment that sets your child up for long-term success.
At The British School Warsaw, we know what it takes. Here’s a guide for families looking to make the best possible choice.
Top universities look for students who’ve been stretched academically. That’s why it’s important to choose a school that offers:
Small class sizes
High-quality teaching from experienced educators
Our Pre‑IB Programme helps students transition into academically rigorous pathways with the confidence and skills needed for success. These academic programmes develop curiosity, resilience and university-level thinking.
University counselling should be more than a few forms and deadlines. Great schools offer:
Personalised academic planning
Support with subject selection
University and career advice
Scholarship guidance
At TBS Warsaw, our admissions and academic support teams work closely with each student to understand their goals and help them build the right path to get there.
Beyond academics, school culture matters. Look for:
A welcoming and respectful community
Opportunities for leadership
A sense of belonging
A positive environment helps students stay motivated and feel supported - both socially and emotionally. See how we prioritise student wellbeing at TBS Warsaw.
Colleges look for students who are involved - and making an impact. Encourage your child to join:
Music, sports or theatre
Debate, Model UN or coding clubs
Volunteer work or community initiatives
TBS Warsaw offers 150+ extracurricular activities and Outstanding Experiences that help students grow into confident leaders.
Top schools integrate modern tools that support learning, creativity and independence. Think:
3D printers, robotics kits, coding platforms
iPads and smartboards for personalised learning
