Zespół Szkół w Wolbromiu is a public school. It is located in the small town in the middle of the beautiful and peaceful area near Krakow and National Park in Ojców. It has a long and interesting history. Our pupils range between 6 and 16 years old. The building of the school is divided into two parts. One of them is intended for pupils who are 6-11 (Primary School and Pre-primary School) and the second part is divided for children who are 12-16 years old (High Junior School). At present we have about 500 children who come from a range of backgrounds. Many of them are in poor socio-economic situation and they don't have any opportunities to travel beyond our country. Our educational staff is made up of qualified teachers who apply educational methods that develop pupils' own, critical thinking skills, allowing them to express their opinions, present the results of their work and stand up for themselves. One of the most important aspects of our school is children's safety. Therefore we participated in national program that promotes 'Schools without aggression'. We value open communication between parents, pupils and teachers. Parents are constantly present in the school environment. They are either volunteering for school trips, helping in our classroom parties or bringing in something that their children forget. Parents figure strongly in day-to-day life of the school. All this makes our school successful among other schools in our town. Our children are successful in many different fields. We believe firmly that our main focus must be on learning and teaching and raising the levels of pupils' attainment and achievement. We aim to develop all pupils "to be the best they can be."
