Strona główna Who we are
International Preschool of Gdansk
and International School of Gdansk are recognized as the IB WORLD SCHOOL 060020
International Preschool of Gdansk is the place where children begin the first, extremely important stage of their educational adventure.
We provide them with a solid foundation for their development in a friendly, supportive and international environment.
Our team creates a rich educational program that takes into account the individual needs, interests and capabilities of children. The goal is not only to pass on knowledge, but above all to develop their potential, curiosity and independence.
Classes at the kindergarten are conducted in English, with simultaneous implementation of the Polish core curriculum for preschool education of the Ministry of Education.
English accompanies the children throughout the day: during study, play, walks and meals, which creates a natural language environment and supports the development of communicative competence.
Children raised in a bilingual environment:
– acquire more languages faster,
– better develop abstract thinking,
– achieve better results in reading and math,
– are able to concentrate longer and solve problems more effectively.
In our preschool we implement the international educational program Primary Years Programme, which is part of the IB system.
The goal of the PYP is to support children in exploring the world, developing curiosity and building value-based approaches. The focus is on the child as an active participant in the learning process.
The program promotes the 10 approaches of the IB student profile, which help children develop as individuals:
inquirers, knowledgeable, thinkers, communicators, principled, open-minded, caring, risk-takers, balanced, and reflective.
We use a variety of teaching methods that promote the harmonious development of children and help them better understand the world around them.
We place great importance on practical experience, so we regularly organize:
– educational excursions,
– thematic projects,
– parties and events that enrich daily classes.
We provide children and their families with individualized support in the process of education and adaptation.
Some classes are held in small, intimate groups, adapted to the needs, abilities and interests of children.
This approach allows us to better develop the potential of each pupil.
We cooperate with the Psychological and Pedagogical Clinic “Osiek”, which allows us to respond quickly and professionally to developmental difficulties and support talents.
The team of specialists cooperating with us includes:
– speech therapists,
– pedagogues,
– child psychologist, who are in constant contact with teachers and parents.
This allows the adaptation process in the kindergarten to be smooth and stress-free, and children have equal educational opportunities.
In our educational efforts, we are guided by the principle that play is a child’s primary way of learning about the world.
Therefore, every day we provide children with time for free play – individual and team play – so essential for emotional and social development.
The preschool is located in a green environment, near a forest and a playground, which further promotes activity and contact with nature.
We offer a wide range of physical activities, which take place both outdoors and in our recreation room. We supplement sports classes with activities that develop creativity and innovation.
In addition, children have the opportunity to participate in activities that develop creative expression, as well as learn elements of Spanish using modern technology.
Our daily schedule is carefully balanced to provide children with both individual development and learning to work in a group, as well as free play, which is extremely important in the development of every child.
At International Preschool of Gdansk, we believe that contact with nature is an extremely important part of children’s development.
Our location, adjacent to the Tri-City Landscape Park, gives us a unique opportunity to conduct classes outdoors.
Following the principle that “bad weather does not exist,” we leave the classrooms every day to:
– explore the surroundings,
– learn about plants and track animal tracks,
– develop knowledge through active play in nature.
