With balanced approach, students gain a deep understanding of the world, across sciences, languages, humanities and arts, preparing them to lead with courage, curiosity and integrity.

Empowering confident communicators

By understanding how language works in different contexts, students learn to communicate clearly, creatively and with purpose.

Mathematics

Building logical thinkers and problem-solvers

Children develop problem-solving and reasoning skills by exploring numbers, patterns, shapes, space and measurement.

Maths lessons support students in thinking logically, working systematically and explaining their methods clearly.

Science, History and Geography

Fostering curiosity and scientific inquiry

Students ask questions, explore ideas and make discoveries about the world around them. Through hands-on experiments, historical inquiry and geographical exploration, they investigate living things, materials, forces, people and places. From understanding natural environments to learning how past events shape the present, students think like scientists, historians and geographers, developing curiosity, critical thinking and a broader understanding of the world they live in.

Connecting through language and culture

Children can learn Polish either as a first language or a foreign language, depending on their background and needs. 

Students learning Polish as a first language deepen their understanding of grammar, vocabulary and literature through rich texts and expressive writing. They explore Polish culture, history and traditions, enhancing both their linguistic skills and national identity. 

Students learning Polish as a foreign language build confidence in speaking, reading and writing through interactive tasks, songs and games. They focus on everyday communication and cultural appreciation, gradually developing fluency in a supportive environment.

Learners stay active, healthy and engaged through a wide range of physical activities.

Physical Education (PE) lessons inspire students to take care of their wellbeing and enjoy being part of a team.
