SCHOOL OF THE GUARDIAN ANGEL
Overcrowding in public schools often results in more than a hundred children in a single class. This naturally leads to a decrease in the level of education due to the lack of individualized teaching paths. The school of St. Guardian Angel is a private institution, which allows independence, and at the same time, is attended by fewer students, which helps conducting classes at a high level.
Since the school of St. Guardian Angel enjoys great interest, we have plans for the future to build additional facilities – a building with two rooms for preschoolers and three classrooms for the school.
QUALITY MATTERS

With the passing years, we will have third, fourth grades…
PROFESSIONAL APPROACH
We employ four teachers and three support staff who assist especially the youngest ones. Older preschoolers and younger school children, apart from the teachers who are two missionary nuns, also have an assistant who helps conduct classes, accompanies them during meals, or facilitates using the toilet.
From the collected tuition fees, we try to cover the salaries of the staff, while the classrooms are equipped with funds from donations. The monthly cost of maintaining one child, whose parents cannot afford to pay tuition, is 50 PLN. This amount covers the fees for education, meals, and the uniform.
Thanks to the support program we run, it is available not only for children from wealthy families but also those from poorer backgrounds. Through funding mainly coming from Poland, we enable the provision of basic education primarily for children from Catholic families, but not only
