Is the Dual Diploma right for you?
The Dual Diploma does not replace your school: you keep studying there and complete the American courses online at your own pace.
This programme suits you if:
- you attend a Polish liceum or technikum and want to stay there,
- you want to finish secondary school with the Polish matura and an American diploma,
- you want to study subjects in English every day.
Prefer to change school completely?
In the Full-Time programme all of your learning happens online in the American system and replaces your current school.

The grade transfer that reduces the American requirement to 6 credits is based on Polish secondary-school records. If you attend school in another country, ask our admissions team whether the Dual Diploma can work with your school system.
How the dual pathway works
You continue your normal studies at your Polish school and add the courses required by the American education system. Thanks to the transfer of grades from your Polish school, you complete 6 credits of American courses.
Depending on the plan, that is 2 courses a year over three years or 3 courses a year over two years. The standard plan lasts 3 years and can be accelerated to suit the student.
When you finish, you receive the American High School Diploma and an additional route into university admissions: you can apply with your Polish documents or with the American diploma.
