Types of schools in Gdańsk and Gdynia
There are many different types of private and non-public schools in Gdańsk and Gdynia, Poland. This includes both alternative and mainstream schools offering a wide range of programs. Below, we describe some of the main kinds of private schools you’ll find in Gdańsk and Gdynia.
International schools: These schools are geared toward foreign students, from Canada, the US, and across Europe. Normally, though, they admit students from Gdańsk, Gdynia, and throughout Poland. International schools in Gdańsk and Gdynia normally offer English-language instruction in most or all courses. Some also offer bilingual, English-Polish instruction. And many offer the International Baccalaureate (IB), a world-renowned program with a high-level and challenging curriculum.
Social schools: These are normally non-public (and non-profit) schools created by social organizations such as the Social Education Association (STO). Parents are often heavily involved in social schools in Gdańsk and Gdynia, working closely with students, teachers, and staff. These schools also tend to have small classes, use innovative teaching methods, and aim to build the social skills of students.
Montessori schools: There are plenty of Montessori schools and preschools in Gdańsk, Gdynia, and all over Poland. These schools are child-centred and closely follow Maria Montessori’s principles of education. They offer lots of self-directed learning, hands-on learning, child-to-child teaching, and group work. They also focus on the development of social and practical skills, and promote independence and responsibility. Many Montessori schools in Poland, including in Warsaw, are accredited by a certifying institute, such as the Association Montessori Internationale (AMI), and have teachers trained at the Polish Montessori Institute (PMI).
Special needs schools: These schools provide support for students with one or more special need. This includes physical, learning, linguistic, social, behavioural, and psychological needs. Many private and non-public schools in Gdańsk and Gdynia offer small classes, differentiated instruction, and extra attention and resources for special needs students. Some of these schools offer full-time special needs support through a dedicated class or program. Others offer part-time support through a “withdrawal” special education class or through in-class accommodations or modifications.
