Knowledge base · A parent question

Does a True Life School child fulfil compulsory education in Poland?

Yes. Every child is formally enrolled, follows the national curriculum inside the platform and takes the state exams. The exact formal route is confirmed per city before enrollment — you sign nothing before seeing it in writing.

The law

What Polish law actually requires.

Education is compulsory in Poland until the age of 18. The law does not require a specific building or timetable — it requires enrollment, the national curriculum and verified progress.

  • The Education Law (Prawo oświatowe) allows compulsory schooling to be fulfilled outside daily classroom attendance — the route used by tens of thousands of Polish children in home education.
  • A child on this route is a full student of a Polish school: enrolled, with a student ID and a yearly state-recognized certificate.
  • Progress is verified by annual classification exams, and the big state exams (eighth-grade exam, matura) are taken like by any other student.
Our part

What True Life School takes off your shoulders.

On paper the route is simple; in practice it needs paperwork, exam prep and rhythm. That is our job, not yours.

Paperwork done

Formal enrollment

We handle the enrollment and the required paperwork with the partner school, and we walk you through every document before you sign it.

No gaps

Curriculum inside the platform

The Polish national curriculum is mapped into platformie do nauki, so daily work automatically covers what the exams will check.

Planned, not improvised

Exam preparation

Classification exams and state exams are planned into the year — with practice runs, not last-minute stress.

High school adds a choice: the Polish track, the British track (IGCSE, A-levels) or the American track. The formal route for each is confirmed per campus before it opens.

What a careful parent should still check.

A school that asks for trust should tell you what to verify. Ask these three things of us — and of any school.

  • Which school issues the certificate and where it is registered.
  • How and when classification exams happen, and what happens if a child needs more time.
  • What the exit path looks like — returning to a traditional school is always possible, with a state certificate in hand.
