Poland shuts down elite private school for failing education standards
American Elite School, a private institution in Poland, has officially closed after failing to meet basic education standards. The Department of Education removed it from the school register on August 31, 2025. Inspections revealed multiple violations that led to the shutdown. The school struggled with fundamental compliance issues, including not following Poland's core general education curriculum, instead relying on an Oxford-based programme and British textbooks. Almost no staff or students spoke Polish, making integration with national standards impossible. Inspectors also found missing records of teaching activities, making it unclear whether students were receiving the required instruction. The Education Oversight Board identified five key failures during checks, leaving no option but to revoke the school's licence. The closure means students and teachers must now find alternative schools. The institution's removal from the register takes effect immediately. No further details have been released about support for those affected by the shutdown.
