What Open Future International School does

Open Future International School is a private bilingual international school operated by Open Future Sp. z o.o. in Kraków, Poland. Founded in 2013, the school operates four campuses across the city serving more than 500 students from preschool (ages 3-6) through high school (ages 14-19), with primary school spanning grades 1-8. It is the only school in the Małopolska region holding full authorization for all three International Baccalaureate programmes — Primary Years Programme (since June 2017), Middle Years Programme (since June 2023), and Diploma Programme (since June 2, 2023) — under IB World School code 050654.

The school combines the Polish National Core Curriculum (MEN) with the IB inquiry-based framework, delivering bilingual instruction in Polish and English using the Jolly Phonics method for early literacy. Notable proprietary elements include the 'School Without Bells' scheduling system inspired by Scandinavian education, 8-week interdisciplinary research projects that connect multiple subjects (e.g., Napoleonic Wars taught across History, Geography, Polish Language, and Sciences simultaneously), Philips air purification systems throughout facilities, and the MyOpenFuture online parent portal for scheduling, meal ordering, and communications. Class sizes are capped at 18 students.

The business model is tuition-driven, with annual fees ranging from PLN 23,611 (preschool AMBER/RUBY 2025/2026) up to PLN 41,000 (high school Grade 1, 2026/2027) per student, billed annually or in monthly installments. Revenue is supplemented by compulsory meal services (PLN 23-32/day via catering partner Royal Taste), extracurricular activities through Krakow Youth Talent Factory, and speech therapy sessions at PLN 145/hour. Discounts include 10% for image-consent, 9-27% for siblings, and special rates for continuing students and referrals. Distribution is direct-to-consumer through online enrollment forms, school visits, and consultation with principals, with international student exchange partnerships in Cairo, Monaco, and the Netherlands.
