World Academy of Tirana

The World Academy of Tirana (WAT) is proud to be the first authorised International Baccalaureate (IB) school in Albania. We have operated since 2013.

WAT is recognised for providing a rich balance of learning in all subjects, including very strong Arts and Health programmes alongside Maths, Science and other core subjects.

At WAT, children from expatriate and local communities mix naturally, creating a cosmopolitan and intellectual learning environment. English is the language of tuition. We offer EAL (English as an additional language) support to students who need it.
