News
Ms. Elzbieta Lechowicz is still on sick leave, currently until the end of May. We recognise the stress that this puts on our students and have been searching for a suitable cover teacher for at least some of the classes.
With that in mind, the administration has hired Przemysław Szymański to teach the 11th Grade Polish A SL lessons online until the end of the school year. Mr. Szymański is an experienced IB Polish A teacher and has already started this week.
D12 Green School
This week in D12 we had the event everybody has been waiting for: The Green School!!! On Wednesday, May 17th grades 1-4 went to Malowanacalled Malowana Zagroda in Kawęczyn. We learned about life in the countryside 100 years ago: the blacksmith’s workshop, the windmill, and watermill, the school, the barn, family house. They assisted a baker in baking bread and fed goats. On the 2nd day 3rd and 4th grade continued their adventure in the Movie District Theme Park in Zalesie Górne. A fantastic experience for all involved!

The IAS closing ceremony has evolved over the lifetime of the school and is now a promotion ceremony for all students from Pre-kg – Grade 11 and is the High School graduation ceremony for our seniors. We will also mingle as a community at the international food festival after the graduation ceremony.
