Primary School- Prywatna Szkoła Podstawowa nr 72 "Szkoła Marzeń" is located in Zalesie Górne in Poland. It is a small village with 3000 inhabitants. It is situated in the center of Poland, in the outskirts of its capital city-Warsaw. The school has 117 pupils aged from 7 to 14. There are 28 teachers in the school. Apart from the general bilingual primary school, there is also a private music school. A lot of pupils attend music classes after their regular lessons. They sing and play different musical instruments there. The pupils of our school live in the closest neighborhood as well come from distant areas. They all speak Polish, are fluent in English, some of them speak German, French and Spanish. The school takes part in a project called „Close to nature“, as it is located in a beautiful afforested, quiet area, far away from the city center. Pupils grow vegetables, keep hens and chickens, collect eggs.
Every year we carry out charity actions to help elderly people from care homes. Pupils visit them, prepare short plays and music performances.
The aim of our school is to develop children's awareness to art and cultural heritage. Pupils participate in theatre performances and musicals. The school has good cooperation with numerous organizations and the local community. Our aim is to encourage pupils to use ICT technology and different web tools to create music projects and presentations. Our school staff is well trained, educated and highly motivated. All the teachers are ready for new experience and cooperation. We would like to be involved in the project as we want to make our pupils understand social, linguistic and cultural diversity and have a positive attitude towards European communities.
