There is a big disconnect between school's PR and reality.
-International environment - not really - all teachers are Polish (with exception of 2 weekly English lessons with a native speaker), 90% of students are Polish and so is the "spirit" of the school
- English language - many parents have had an issue with the level of English teaching, precisely the lack of progress their children were making
- Student's turnover - is huge. In our child's class, there was a 90% student turnover (primary school) in 2 years. And our class was no exception. This turnover is not caused by relocations - the vast majority of students went to different schools in Warsaw. It is mostly due to the leadership's difficulties around polite, respectful, factfull, and logical communication with parents.
- facilities - starting with 5th grade, the school is located in a small building with NO OUTDOOR SPACE. Meaning, children spend all day either in their classroom or a narrow and short corridor. They may play table tennis, given the 1 table is available.
The school sells the illusion of providing something exclusive and many parents fall for it.
With the fee of 3.600 Zl monthly + lunches, I'd certainly imagine a different standard. We parted ways after couple of years and I only wish we did it sooner.

As a parent, I feel that the school genuinely values our perspective and fosters an open, constructive dialogue. In this regard, I am particularly grateful to Vice Director, whose dedication—and that of the entire leadership and teaching team—shapes the school’s uplif... read full review

My children are extremely happy at this school. And their development is amazing.

Leadership is arrogant and treats parents as enemies (unless you give sponsor gifts), children's basic rights are being abused, despite advertising a safe, respectful, and stimulating environment. Facilities are poor ( Belwederska street) but fees are high. I can't recommend the school to anyone.
