INTERESTED IN STUDENT EXCHANGE?

Our schools, described in detail above, are looking for partner schools to conduct students exchange programmes. We appreciate the value and importance of learning foreign languages in today’s modern world, and we believe that organising students’ exchanges is one of the best and most effective ways to motivate young people to learn some of the most popular European languages, and in addition to that, to teach them how to be tolerant and open to other cultures. We are looking for partners mostly in Europe (but not only there!). Student exchange programs can be conducted in English, German or French, as these are the leading languages in our school. We are also interested in cooperation with schools that would like to join educational programs organised by EU. Our students’ ages range from 6 to 18. We promise an interesting, exciting and stimulating cooperation! Apart from that, we would just like to add that our school is beautifully located in one of the most interesting regions of Poland – Tricity, which comprises three unique cities, each with their own individual character and offering plenty of things to see and experience. If you are interested, do not hesitate to contact us at the addresses given above. See you in Gdynia!
