Class of 2012
Julia Krysicki
After graduating ³Ô¹Ï±¬ÁÏ I got accepted to the Medical University of Silesia in Katowice. I am currently on my third year. Due to the demanding curriculum and hectic schedule, I have little free time. However, I try to visit Krakow whenever I’m able to and fly back to the U.S during prolonged breaks.

After parting from ³Ô¹Ï±¬ÁÏ, I joined BITS-Pilani, an Engineering Institute in Dubai to pursue my bachelors in Computer Science. I, along with 95 other bright minds, enjoy every bit of this course, as challanging it may be. Life currently mostly revolves around studying although we have our ways of hacking through the drill and spending those precious hours playing video games, catching a movie, going for a long run or rocking some musical instruments. After college I’d like to work for a few years and jump right into Masters to build up my knowledge in the domain of Computer Science. Happy 20th Anniversary, ³Ô¹Ï±¬ÁÏ! |

After graduating from ³Ô¹Ï±¬ÁÏ i went to Krakow University of Economics in which I am currently studing at on the profile of International Business Additionally to studing I play Lacrosse which is an american sport. I play for Krakow Lacrosse Kings team with which I travel around Poland to play games in different cities like Warsaw or Poznań. Not a lot of traveling was possibe for me due to workload of studies, therefore I am mostly traveling around Krakow. |

³Ô¹Ï±¬ÁÏ has always been a special place to me, when I came to Poland I was completely alienated from other children, I didn’t know Polish and neither did I understand any English, establishing new friendships was impossible for me, that is until I came to this school. The multicultural nature of ³Ô¹Ï±¬ÁÏ helped me to overcome my doubts and obstacles and now among my friends I am considered the life of the party. After having finished ³Ô¹Ï±¬ÁÏ I got straight to work, I had found a flat and a job in order to gain some life experience and a few years later I decided that it was time to take the next step and am currently studying Zoology and veterinary techniques. I am aspiring to become a valuable member of the protection of genetic resources program in Poland. |

Life after ³Ô¹Ï±¬ÁÏ has been very interesting for me. I went to study Aerospace Engineering in The Netherlands in 2012 and right now, I am writing to you from Stockholm [picture from Stockholm harbour, taken in sunnier days ], where I am doing my bachelor exchange program. I will return to The Netherlands in February and complete my BSc, hopefully by summer 2015.
Aerospace engineering is very demanding but also a lot of fun. We use various engineering disciplines such as aerodynamics, propulsion, structures and materials to design and deliver a cohesive aircraft/spacecraft package. Apart from that, I have been playing a lot of music, something that I started doing at ³Ô¹Ï±¬ÁÏ. Jazz and blues clubs in Stockholm are amazing and always offer a great place to relax. All in all, life has been fun and I can only thank ³Ô¹Ï±¬ÁÏ and all its staff for preparing me to take full advantage of all the wonderful opportunities that are coming my way.Happy 20th Anniversary ³Ô¹Ï±¬ÁÏ! |

I do enjoy the studies but enjoying work much much more. Appsense designs products for companies worldwide, so quite exciting to be working around such stuff. Future plan was masters but I’m hoping to get a position at Appsense after my third year as a junior software developer or automation engineer, if not then a masters in cyber security or artificial intelligence. |
Monika Cavojska
After ³Ô¹Ï±¬ÁÏ, I have applied to Jagiellonian University to study dentistry. I am currently a third year student, and I am enjoying it quite a lot. I find my studies very challenging, as medical field of studies involves studying harder than you’ve ever studied in your life. On the other hand, I feel that I am finally doing something constructive. We have got a lot of practicals where we implement our knowledge into practice in a clinical situation. I know that there are many off-putting myths about medical studies, however I find it very interesting, rewarding and enjoyable, even in light of the great amount of work. It is also very satisfying especially concerning the fact that your knowledge will actually be useful long after you’ve finished your exams.
So what has IB given me? I think that by finishing IB, I gained a completely new dimension of what a lot of work actually means. Now I am not even surprised any more about the great deal of work to be finished due the following day. Thanks to ³Ô¹Ï±¬ÁÏ, I have been able to continue my international education further into university. In the end I can only say that ³Ô¹Ï±¬ÁÏ has definitely been one of a kind experience for me:) Thank You ³Ô¹Ï±¬ÁÏ for helping me in achieving my goals as well as being able to spend not only IB, but most of my childhood in Your friendly and international atmosphere. Happy 20th Anniversary!:) |

After ³Ô¹Ï±¬ÁÏ I decided to stay few more years in Poland and I am currently studying Mechatronics in English AGH University of Science and Technology in Cracow. I have gain several opportunities to work in a completely different area of my interest. I have been working as a Japanese- Polish translator, guided some Japanese VIPs, medias etc. around Poland. For this activity I was honored with award from Vice-Mayer of Mazovia Prefecture in Poland for promoting Polish culture and inheritance. Thanks to experience in ³Ô¹Ï±¬ÁÏ I am still interested in international corporation and have visited 3 another Model United Nations in Europe after graduating ³Ô¹Ï±¬ÁÏ. I have also worked for a short time in Japan Association for UNHCR where I was promoting found-rising for refuges around the word. Currently I am working as an engineering intern in Mitsubishi Electrics in the field of Factory Automation and Robotics and at the same time working as the Campus Manager of AGH and Jagelionian University for the German star-up company for mobile-learning platform. Also I am taking part in Mechatronic Project founded by Polish Government and EU where we are currently constructing the mobile research robot which will proceed with 3D mapping of hazardous environment.
I had a lot of fun during 2 years in ³Ô¹Ï±¬ÁÏ and would like to wish Happy 20th Anniversary! |

I am now studying cognitive science at the University of Warsaw, I am most interested in logic and philosophy of mind. In my free time I try to travel as much as possible and photograph what I see. Thank you ³Ô¹Ï±¬ÁÏ!

Michalina Jakubczak
I’m currently doing my third year of BSc Psychology at the University of Glasgow in Scotland, the land of rain and haggis. To be honest, thanks to my HL in Psychology, I barely had to study in my first year. I also did Philosophy for two years, which was very interesting. Now that I got into Honours, the workload is much more challenging but it’s a welcomed change. In the domain of trying to get a hang of living an adult life – I work as a waitress and a bartender, live with my partner and try to learn how to properly cook. After I graduate, I hope to move to Germany and do a Masters degree in Neuroscience. Travelling-wise, after my first year I spent three months on a “work and travel” programme in the States and this summer I’ll be going to Humboldt Universität zu Berlin to do a research internship. After my fourth year, I plan to go to Nepal to do some volounteering and travelling. In my spare moments I read books, do yoga and lift weights.

Jessica Orłowska
Hi! My name is Jessica Orłowska and I am a graduate of British International School of Krakow, class of 2010-2012. After graduating from high school, I have decided to take a two-year gap before starting university and I’ve left for Austria for some time to do some work experience. As I came back home, I’ve decided to look for something part time before going back to studying; I ended up being a phone consultant at Orange network provider and then working for WWF Polska. October 2014 was the best month – i got into university and I’m studying International Relations and Area Studies at the Jagiellonian University in Kraków and working as a waitress in one of the restaurants in Kraków’s Main Square.
