What Fundacja Edukacji Międzynarodowej - Foundation of International Education does

Fundacja Edukacji Międzynarodowej (FEM) is a Polish non-profit public-benefit organization (KRS 0000041253) founded in 1998 and headquartered in Wrocław, Lower Silesia. It operates three IB World Schools that together form a complete K-12 International Baccalaureate continuum: Dwujęzyczna Szkoła Podstawowa ATUT (bilingual Polish-English primary school established 1990, the first non-public primary school in Lower Silesia), Międzynarodowe Liceum Ogólnokształcące we Wrocławiu (international secondary school established 2014, offering IB Diploma and Polish matura), and Wroclaw International School (English-medium school for foreign children ages 4-16). All three schools hold IB World School status from the International Baccalaureate Organization, and all three received the international Green Flag Eco-Schools certification in 2025. FEM also operates the Wolves Athletic Program and runs regional talent-development initiatives including the zDolny Śląsk Scholarship Program (since 2001, in partnership with the Lower Silesian Marshal's Office), Stypendia Pomostowe bridge scholarships, and the Polish-Slovak Scholarship Fund.

FEM serves four primary segments: Polish families in Lower Silesia seeking bilingual and international education alternatives to public schools; expatriate families in Lower Silesia needing English-medium schooling for children aged 4-16; university-bound secondary students pursuing the IB Diploma for global admissions; and gifted students from the Lower Silesia region receiving scholarship support. The foundation reports more than 600 students from over 30 countries.

FEM is governed by a Board and Council without any parent company or commercial ownership. The foundation employs 21 people and is funded through a mix of recurring tuition fees from school operations, government subsidies from Samorząd Województwa Dolnośląskiego, EEA/Norway Grants for capital projects, and 1.5% personal income tax donations under Poland's OPP (Organizacja Pożytku Publicznego) designation. Distribution is direct-to-consumer through year-round enrollment, supported by the foundation's website (fem.org.pl) and Facebook presence. In 2025, FEM celebrated the 35th anniversary of ATUT and opened a new wing at the international secondary school to accommodate growing IB Diploma Programme enrollment.
