Descripción de la organización:

Our school is situated in the central part of Kielce. We have two separate buildings close to each other. In the main building there are three corridors, where young learners learn and students from the seventh and the eighth grades. The second building is occupied by grades the fourth, the fifth and the sixth ones. Today we have 441 pupils. We have got two renovated gyms and playgrounds. In October we will have new modern equipped language classrooms with full software because we start a new European Project " In the digital world". In this project students will have two extra English lessons, Lego classes and robotics.We learn in 25 classrooms equipment in interactive boards or projectors. All volunteers can use these devices as well. In our canteen volunteers will get hot meals every day
We hire 70 workers among them 50 teachers. In case of difficulties during work our well-qualified staff will help. Volunteers can always count on our teachers' support who will explain how to cope with any obstacles. Most of our staff can speak at least basic English. One of English teachers would be responsible for a direct contact with volunteers (EVS supervisor). The detailed schedule will be prepared by whole teaching stuff so the potential of the volunteers will be efficiently planned. To make the project interesting, enriching for the volunteers and a great contribution to school life there will be many people employing in the project:

We aim for our students to become billinguals as well as ensure that they attain and achieve their full potential and acquire the full range of skills and abilities relevant to growing, living and working in the contemporary world. To give them chance to develop their language skills we participate in different projects. We had exchange trips to Romania and Italy, In 2017- 2019 we participated in Erasmus + project :Developing key competences through sport". Now we coordinate project "Green 4 Future". We are waiting for a final result.
