About School
We believe that education is more than just teaching and learning – it is a shared space for mutual inspiration, where we support and guide children as they explore and understand the world and discover their own potential.

DISCOVER OUR SCHOOL
Abous Us
The International School is a place with a long-standing tradition and extensive experience in education. Our story began in 2003 with the opening of our first English-language kindergarten, followed by the establishment of our primary school in 2009. Since then, we have continuously built an open, friendly, and supportive community of qualified teachers and specialists with many years of experience in education. We are united by our consistent approach and commitment to teaching and learning. We passionately combine Canadian and Polish educational standards to provide our students with a well-rounded education.
What Makes Us Different?
International Education, Bilingualism, and a Modern Approach to Teaching
We create a unique learning environment where the Polish national curriculum is combined with the innovative approach characteristic of Canadian education. This allows students to develop the skills and competencies essential in today's world. We combine proven educational practices with innovative teaching methods, focusing on students' development and well-being, as well as close cooperation between the school and families.
INTERNATIONAL EDUCATION
Our Custom-Designed Canadian Education Program
In collaboration with our certified teachers from Canada, the USA, and the United Kingdom, we deliver our own educational program covering four key areas: Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies. Our program goes beyond traditional teaching, inspiring students to explore, experiment, think independently and critically, and develop problem-solving skills.
DAILY LANGUAGE EXPOSURE
Bilingualism Through Full Language Immersion
English is a natural part of everyday school life. It is not merely a subject to be studied, but a tool for acquiring knowledge and exploring the world. Through full language immersion and daily interaction with native English-speaking teachers, students develop the ability to communicate confidently and fluently in English.
INTERNATIONAL TEACHING STAFF
Qualified Native English-Speaking Teachers
We employ certified teachers with appropriate pedagogical qualifications who bring international experience and high teaching standards to our school.
SUPPORT FROM THE VERY BEGGINING
Teaching in Grade 0
Grade 0 is a unique stage of education during which children prepare for their transition to primary school, while developing their skills in a welcoming, bilingual environment. Our program combines the principles of Polish preschool education with the Canadian curriculum, providing children with a wide range of opportunities to explore the world, discover their individual interests, and expand their knowledge and potential. The Canadian curriculum is delivered through five key subject areas:
- Language Arts
- Mathematics
- Science
- Social Studies
- Arts
The Polish curriculum is based on an integrated preschool education program that responds to children's developmental needs, supports their physical, emotional, social and cognitive growth, and helps them acquire the essential skills required for Grade 1
Through everyday learning experiences, children gain new knowledge and skills, learn to collaborate, develop their communication abilities, and build confidence in using English.
Our priority is to prepare each child for the next stage of their educational journey. We strive to ensure that their early learning experiences foster curiosity, a love of learning.
EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION
Teaching in Grades 1-3
In Grades 1-3, we offer an integrated educational program based on both the Polish and Canadian curricula. By combining these two educational systems, we create an inspiring learning environment where children develop their linguistic, cognitive, social, and creative skills. The Canadian curriculum encompasses five key subject areas:
- Language Arts
- Mathematics
- Science
- Social Studies
- Arts
The Polish curriculum is delivered through an integrated approach to primary education and includes the following areas:
- Polish Language Education
- Mathematics Education
- Science Education
- Social Education
- Arts Education
- Technology and Computer Science Education
Both curricula complement each other, creating a comprehensive educational model in which knowledge from different disciplines is naturally integrated into the learning process. This approach enables students to recognize connections between different subjects, develop critical thinking skills, and apply their knowledge in practical, real-world situations.
Our goal is not only to provide a strong academic foundation but also to foster intellectual curiosity, independence, and openness to the world - essential qualities that lay the groundwork for continued education in an international environment.
DISCOVERING NEW POSSIBILITIES
Teaching in Grades 4-8
Moving into Grade 4 marks an important milestone in every student's education.
As students progress from Grades 1-3 to Grade 4, they enter a new stage of their education, marked by a more structured approach to learning. They are introduced to a broader range of subjects, taught by dedicated subject specialists, alongside a new approach to assessing their academic progress.
Grades 4-8 are a time of intensive growth, learning, and developing independence. Students gain a better understanding of their strengths, discover their interests, develop their skills, and learn to take on new academic challenges. With each passing year, they become increasingly aware of their abilities and aspirations. All these experiences prepare students for Grade 8 - a time to reflect on their academic progress, take the national eighth-grade examination, and make an informed decision about their future secondary education.
LEARNING BY DOING
Our Original Educational Projects
We implement our own educational projects that integrate knowledge from different subject areas. Through these projects, students develop collaboration skills, independent thinking, and the ability to apply their knowledge in practice. We regularly share updates and highlights from our projects on social media.
DIGITAL SKILLS
Technology-Enhanced Education
Modern technologies and multimedia projects are an integral part of our educational program. We develop students' digital competencies and creativity, teaching them to use digital tools consciously and responsibly.
THOUGHTFUL EXAM PREPARATION
Preparation for the Eighth-Grade Examination
Our custom-designed examination preparation program enables students to systematically review learning material, consolidate their knowledge, become familiar with examination strategies, and identify their strengths and areas requiring further improvement. We support students in developing motivation, independence, and self-confidence as they prepare for the examination. Our teachers encourage regular revision of key subject content, recommend additional educational resources, and suggest effective methods for consolidating knowledge. Before the examination, students also have the opportunity to assess their knowledge and skills under examination conditions.
