EKOLA was authorized as IB Diploma school in 2006 and since then has been teaching the curriculum which leads students to gaining a diploma recognized by universities worldwide. Within extracurricular activities, EKOLA students participate in academic, cultural, sports or charity events.
The EKOLA School Complex, which operates in two locations, offers education at primary and secondary levels in three institutions: Ekola Primary School, Bilingual Secondary School and the International School of Ekola, where the IB Diploma Program is implemented. The school offers comprehensive education, and apart from the implementation of the core curriculum, ecological, social activities and physical activities, it also includes artistic activities. Interdisciplinary projects in the field of culture and numerous charity campaigns deserve special attention. In the Bilingual Secondary School all subjects are taught according to the Polish core curriculum. Throughout their studies, students can move to classes with the IB program. In grades 1 and 2, the majority of teachers also teach in the IB program - with excellent qualifications and many years of experience in teaching IB.

Central to your child's school experience is the underlying curriculum taught in the classroom. "Curriculum" refers to both what is taught and how it's taught. When considering the different curricula outlined in the next few pages, keep in mind that few schools fall neatly into one category or another. Most schools' curricula comprise a blend of best practices drawn from multiple curriculum types. Having said that, most schools do have a general overall curriculum type. These are identified for each school on OurKids.net.
Primary Curriculum: TraditionalTraditional curricula tend to be very content-based and rooted in the core disciplines. It is a structured approach that involves the teacher delivering a unified curriculum through direct instruction. Uczniowie najpierw zdobywają wiedzę podstawową i teoretyczną, aby później stosować ją w praktyce. Students usually learn by observing and listening to their teacher, studying facts and concepts in textbooks, and completing both tests and written assignments - which challenge students to not only demonstrate their mastery of content but their ability to analyze and deconstruct it critically. Class discussions are also used to create critical dialogue around the content of the curriculum.
