The teachers are accessible, helpful, and talented in their ability to teach to many levels and language needs. The Piefer Family

We are fortunate to have such a valued school in Kraków, and could not be more thrilled with the opportunities it has provided for our family. The McDonald Family

As parents of an eleventh grader we need to express our deepest conviction that we have found the best place for our daughter to grow both academically and personally. The Jakimowicz Family

We treasure not only the education they received, but the entire experience provided by the school. The Ladd Family

The instant we joined ISK, we were treated as family. The Caruso Family

As a teacher and also a parent of two children at ISK, I can honestly say that I’ve never enjoyed being in a school so much. The Panetta Family
