About WMHS
Warsaw Montessori High School –
IB World School no. 061201
Warsaw Montessori High School uniquely blends IB Diploma Programme with educational philosophy of Maria Montessori.
Warsaw Montessori High School (WMHS) is an innovative educational institution dedicated to providing a holistic and student-centered learning environment. Located in the heart of Warsaw, the school offers Pre-IB (Years 9 & 10 – 1st and 2nd grade) and International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme (IB DP) (Years 11 & 12 – 3rd and 4th grade), which is designed to develop adolescents into motivated, knowledgeable and open-minded learners, ready to thrive in a global society.
The school is built on the core values: respect, fair play, and empathy and uniquely blends prestigious and internationally recognised IB DP with the educational philosophy of Maria Montessori. The core Montessori’s values are seamlessly integrated into the IB DP framework, emphasising the importance of responsibility for one’s own development. This approach encourages learners to take charge of their education through inquiry, knowledge acquisition, and real-world experiences. Students are not just recipients of knowledge; they are active participants in their learning, encouraged to explore their interests and passions.
Every student who demonstrates commitment and ambition can complete the IB DP programme at our school.
In the classroom, our teachers are role-models and play a pivotal role in shaping the WMHS experience. With strong academic backgrounds and a genuine passion for their subjects, our educators inspire students to explore and excel.
We approach each student individually and focus on the student’s position and identity as well as balance between intellectual, emotional and social development.
In alignment with the IB Learner Profile, WMHS fosters critical attributes such as critical thinking, integrity, and honesty. Students are taught to view problems from multiple perspectives, analyse information critically, make informed decisions, and communicate their findings clearly. Moreover, the school instils a deep sense of concern for others, empathy, and the importance of service, shaping students into responsible global citizens who understand their role and impact within their communities.
We are an open, intimate, inclusive school that provides a sense of security.
WMHS is a small, safe and inclusive community where the student is at the focal point. Simultaneously the school environment is shaped by teachers and students of international backgrounds; speaking, learning, and teaching multiple languages; and celebrating linguistic and cultural diversity. We are an open community fostering international mindedness.
