What International School of Poznan does

International School of Poznan (ISOP) is a private, non-profit international school operating in Poznań, Poland since 2005, structured as a foundation (Fundacja International School of Poznań). The school delivers the full International Baccalaureate (IB) continuum from Kindergarten through the Diploma Programme, with approximately 40 staff serving students aged 4-19 across five divisions: Kindergarten (K1-K2), Primary Years Programme (K1-P4), Middle School/MYP (M5-M8), High School (HS0-HS2), and the IB Diploma Programme (DP1-DP2). ISOP holds IB World School authorization #002709, with the Diploma Programme authorized since 2008 and the Primary Years Programme since 2010; as of the 2025-26 academic year it is a Candidate School for the Middle Years Programme.

The school's technology stack is built on commodity education platforms: Google Workspace for Education for classroom and collaboration work, the JSTOR academic database for research (notably Extended Essay support), the MobiDziennik e-register for parent/student academic tracking, and a Sellingo-powered e-commerce store (shop.isop.pl) for uniforms. Canteen meals are pre-ordered through the Loca platform with key-fob pickup. No proprietary technology or AI/ML capabilities are evident in the disclosed data.

ISOP's revenue is generated primarily through annual tuition fees (ranging from 25,200 PLN for HS0 in 2025/26 to 30,900 PLN for PYP and MS in 2026/27, payable in 10 monthly installments), supplemented by a one-time 2,500 PLN registration fee, IB programme fees of 575-600 EUR, exam fees (~550 EUR), canteen meals (20-30 PLN per meal), and uniform sales. Distribution is exclusively direct on-campus at the Taczanowskiego 18 facility, with admissions driven by Open House events, PTA word-of-mouth, and online application forms. The school operates as a single-site institution serving primarily the Greater Poland (Wielkopolska) voivodeship, with international student exchanges (Laar & Berg, Netherlands) and Erasmus+ participation extending visibility beyond the local market.
