What is the Nord Anglia Virtual School Experience in Secondary at The British School Warsaw?
This programme aims to provide students with a bespoke, engaging and interactive programme of study to better prepare them for the next stage of their educational journey.
This bespoke programme has been designed to better prepare our Year 11 students for the IBDP course.

- CAS – Community, Activity, Service
