At Gaudeamus school, the BILINGUALITY program is a priority. From the first days our students are immersed in English. Thanks to this, they speak, read, write, understand and think in English, are able to function freely in an English-speaking environment (foreign travel, getting to know other cultures, establishing relationships). They have a wider range of further education options (international baccalaureate, studies in English, studies abroad), they learn new foreign languages faster and easier (e.g. Spanish, which we teach from the first grade). 

In addition, our students have the opportunity to take Cambridge exams. The younger ones joining YLE, Key and Preliminary are introduced to the examination environment in a comfortable and stress-free way, and the older ones - joining First for Schools and Advanced - can gain qualifications useful in further learning, and in the long run - necessary for work.

Every day, with JOY AND PASSION, we accompany our students on their educational journey, we support and inspire them to be creative. We work mainly using the project method, field activities, we promote out-of-school and interdisciplinary forms of implementing the core curriculum as well as activities that develop students' interests and talents. Teachers do not play the role of experts, but advisers, observers, and their main goal is to equip each student not only with knowledge, but also with specific skills that will help him cope in the future.

In our school, teachers use formative assessment. In practice, the student receives fewer grades, and more often feedback from the teacher: what did he do well, what and how should be improved, in what direction should he develop further. Thanks to this, we support our students in the process of learning and acquiring new skills, we give them the right to make mistakes, and we do not hold them accountable for what they do not know yet. We build a partnership between the teacher and the student, which increases the student's motivation and involvement in the learning process.

We are aware that the accumulation of knowledge is not the same as development, and school knowledge and skills are one of many areas of life and development of students. That is why we apply the principle WE ASK WITH SENSE. Thanks to this, we leave children and young people space for personal development, self-awareness, social relations, and talent development.

Our teachers:

•     differentiate tasks depending on needs,
•     know that not all students must be given homework,
•     prepare work for willing students, thus giving them the opportunity to independently decide on its implementation,
•     do not assign homework out of habit,
•     they do not assign material that was not covered in class - they know that homework should practice the skills acquired during classes.

In Gaudeamus schools, we guarantee education in the spirit of POSITIVE DISCIPLINE. We will equip your child with social skills that will help him build lasting relationships and make friends with his peers. We will help him discover how capable and competent he is. We will strengthen self-esteem, self-confidence, internal motivation to act. We will teach effective communication, problem solving skills, self-reliance and independence.

Classes in our common room are primarily to develop the talents and passions of students and support the comprehensive development of personality. As part of club activities, we offer our students, among others: clubs run by day-room teachers and interest clubs run by subject teachers, movement games and activities, art competitions, reading books, board games and many others. We make sure that children spend as much time as possible outdoors. Willing students can do their homework every day under the supervision of a teacher, as well as improve their skills in reading, counting and writing.

We believe that physical development is an important element of education. That is why we provide students with professional sports facilities. During physical education lessons, extracurricular activities and recreational breaks, our pupils can use a large sports field, playground, health path and a large, modernly equipped gym suitable for volleyball, basketball and handball. We want our students to grow up to be active, athletic and healthy people, which is why we make every effort to create the best conditions for them.

In our schools, we provide three delicious, healthy, balanced meals prepared in our own, professionally equipped kitchens under the supervision of a dietitian. We educate our students about the importance of rational nutrition and a diet rich in seasonal fruit and vegetables, limiting the consumption of highly processed food and added sugars.

School and family are two environments that have a special impact on a child. The effectiveness of this influence is conditioned by mutual and close cooperation. We are very interested in successful cooperation with the parents of our students. That is why we regularly invite parents to meetings with teachers and the school counselor. We undertake numerous projects aimed at integrating the entire school community, i.e. students, parents and teachers.
