History

BISC Wroclaw is the sister school of The British International School of Cracow (BISC). BISC Cracow was founded in order to provide a top quality education for the growing international community in Cracow and opened on 1st September 1995. It now educates approximately 160 pupils from twenty five different countries.

BISC Wroclaw was opened in September 2006 in response to an invitation from the city of Wroclaw. The city is growing rapidly and the city council saw the need to increase international educational provision in the city.

Both schools are privately owned and founded by four educationalists:

He has extensive teaching experience in England and Poland and is a published composer who has written several musicals for children. In 2005, Andy’s achievements in international education were recognised by ECIS (European Council for International Schools) who awarded him their Award for the Promotion of International Education.
		Wendy Murphy GBSM & ABSM from Birmingham Conservatoire, PGCE from Leeds University. She also has extensive teaching experience in England and Poland and wrote articles for ‘The Warsaw Voice’ when teaching at St Paul’s International School in Warsaw.
