"Our main goals are to teach the language and culture of Poland and to learn about and to respect other cultures, languages, races, and religions."

Our school counts almost 560 students and 22 teachers. We teach all grades from kindergarten to credit courses for high school. The school was established in 1927 and now is one of the biggest Polish ethnic schools in the whole world (to compare to the St. John School- where our classes are held counts approximately 200 students). In our Forest City there are several other ethnic schools such as: Chinese, Hindu, German, Greek, Ukrainian, and Vietnamese.

The Polish School in Canada is different than regular schools in Poland. Children come to school every Saturday for only 2.5 hours (credit courses 3.5 hours). For us as teachers it is a little but for youth it's a great effort. The students represent different levels of knowledge of the Polish language. There are some who never hear the language spoken at home and there are those who communicate with their parents only in Polish. Our main goals are to teach the language and culture of Poland and to learn about and to respect other cultures, languages, races, and religions. The students of Staszic School should be able to expect a welcoming learning environment, free from prejudice and racism and to relieve the linguistic, social, and cultural disorientation faced by many students.
