Moving from India to Wroclaw

There are other deductions than just the tax. Also with gross of 12000 PLN the tax is not 18%. Plus you have mixed up gross and net.

You will be receiving little over 8000 PLN not 9840 PLN. Should still be just about enough to live on but don't expect to save too much.

Not sure why you insist on private school. Poland has one of the best education systems in the world. Ranking above Germany and just behind Canada.

The reality is not so brilliant when we know system from inside. Polish kids learn how to read at the age of 7 when western kids learn at 5 or 6. Polish kids are not taught how to think, they are just taught things to memorize and to repeat just like parrots. I am quite familiar with Polish and several western systems. In Poland, kids have fewer subjects. Whereas in the west, kids are taught how to think, how to criticize through literature, philosophy, (for instance), in Poland they do not. Kids are expected to be machines. Polish parents complain a lot. Kids are exhausted, under stress, depressed and I have found out that scarification among "gymnazjum" kids in Poland was not exceptional.

If the kid is to return to his/her country after a stay in Poland, obviously best to stik to internantional (unless his/her school system is present in Poland - there are schools offering British and sometimes from other English-speaking countries, or French, or German system, either private schools or foreign schools depending directly upon embassies) otherwise the kids will be much behind. Last year, I was helping a western kid attending a Polish school but to return home. For instance, Polish kids of his age learn only additions such as: 32 + 7 whereas kids in his country at same age learn additions such as: 43+17 ;)

Basically, in Poland the rule is brainwashing and that is why very rich Poles chose schools with foreign syllabuses. A friend of mine was telling me some 2 hours ago that she and her husband think about sending their 14-year-old son to study abroad as of next year because pure slavery and brainwashing and they have put their other (younger) kids to American School and everybody is happy about the American system...

If we care about the kid's development and happyness, best to avoid Polish schools

PS: if you want to be informed properly, listen (read) people who know about schools.

Thank you very much!!! :-) #veikkopl, #daim and #InPolska.

In your situation: only one solution: (private) school offering British curriculum. Your kids also won't be behind when returning home or moving elsewhere as per your next expat contract.

Besides, Polish is useful in Poland only. Your kids should consolidate their English instead (and later on start international languages).

Hello -

1. Could someone explain me the age criteria for kid from Kindergarten to Higher secondary to acquire an admission in International schools, Wroclaw?
2. Fee structures (Application fee+Tuition Fee/monthly fee+any other available fee) for Kindergarten, Primary, Secondary, Higher secondary in International schools, Wroclaw?

Thanks a million!!

Why don't you contact schools directly? Owners and principles of course at least speak English. Most people in PF don't live in Poland (and some of them have never set a foot in the country) so what do you expect them to tell you? ;) When school is called '"international", make sure they are truly international. I do live in Poland and am quite familiar with schools but I don't live in Wrocław...

I see this question time and time again, and yet it's all on their websites in English.

#InPolska, Thank you for your comments :-)

@Sudah! No problem! :). Obviously ONLY concerned schools can give you the right info. Best of course is to get info from the horse's month. As I said, most peole in PF don't even live in Poland (some have never been in Poland too) to begin with and besides, even among the tew of us living in Poland, it is not so easy to find someone who thoroughly knows said schools ;)

It is like those (not only in PF but in whatever forum) who come and expose their health or legal problems instead of dealing directly with doctors and lawyers ;).

So do get in touch with management and they'll answer your questions! :)

Whatever. Welcome in visit to the land of Brahmins.

Of course you will. Many Polish people worked abroad and achieved a decent level of English. We do like to speak English and have an opportunity to improve our language skills ;)
