What III Liceum Ogólnokształcące im. Marynarki Wojennej RP w Gdyni does

III Liceum Ogólnokształcące z Oddziałami Dwujęzycznymi im. Marynarki Wojennej RP w Gdyni ("III LO w Gdyni", informally "Gdyńska Trójka") is a public upper-secondary school (liceum) located at ul. Legionów 27 in Gdynia, Poland, operating under the Polish municipal education system since its founding in 1990. The school is named after the Polish Navy (Marynarka Wojenna RP) and serves students aged roughly 15–19, including a national catchment for its flagship International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme — operated under the designation Gdynia IBO World School 0704, authorised by the International Baccalaureate Organization in 1993 as one of the first two IB schools in Poland and the first to administer IB exams in the country in 1995. It also runs the IB Middle Years Programme (MYP) and bilingual Polish-English sections, producing graduates consistently admitted to MIT, Harvard, Yale, Oxford, Cambridge, and other top global universities.

The school's core products are academic programmes (Polish national matura preparation alongside IB Diploma and MYP tracks), augmented by a 3LAB school innovation workshop (Szkolna pracownia innowacji 3LAB) equipped with a Zortrax INVENTURE 3D printer and hosting STEM projects (3SAT stratospheric drone, EXTREME BOX, BIOSMART PATCH), an on-site boarding facility (Internat przy III LO w Gdyni) supporting students from outside Gdynia, and a school-organised TriMUN Model United Nations conference. The technology stack is conventional: Librus electronic gradebook, WordPress-based website (lo3.gdynia.pl), Edupage timetabling, and YouTube/social channels; no proprietary software or AI systems.

The business model is that of a publicly funded educational institution. Primary funding flows from Polish state and municipal (Gmina Miasto Gdynia) budget allocations, with supplementary recurring revenue from IB/MYP programme fees, boarding fees, locker rentals, and Parents' Council (Rada Rodziców) voluntary contributions. Additional in-kind and minor grant support comes from partners including the BNP Paribas Foundation, Zortrax, Microsoft, the EFC Foundation, and the City of Gdynia. The school has 21 documented staff contacts (Director, two Deputy Directors, Boarding Manager, IB Coordinator, two school psychologists/pedagogues, librarian, administrative staff) and reports 44 students sat for IB exams in 2026 with a school average of 38.43/45 points — among the highest globally. There is no equity ownership, parent company, or commercial monetisation; governance is exercised through the Director, pedagogical council, and Parents' Council under supervision of the Pomorskie Voivodeship Kuratorium Oświaty.
