GDYNIA INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL, PRESCHOOL AND PRIMARY SCHOOL
"English Every Day and Everywhere"
We work each day towards ensuring that each child in our school reaches their highest level of learning possible. In order to achieve this, we do much more than the basic programme (Podstawa Programowa). Additionally we support each child in developing skills in: Critical thinking, language development, physical development and musical development. One of my many inspirations comes from an Educational Psychologist, Benjamin Bloom.

I have 3 of my grandchildren at GIS Preschool. I am amazed by the level of their development in GIS Preschool. They are fluent in English and Polish, and are also learning to speak in Spanish. The educational programme offered by GIS gives them a lot of skills and confidence at such an early age. Now I am very excited that they can continue their education in GIS Primary School!
