The school provides an academic program that prepares students for the next stages of education while equipping them with the tools to become independent adults. The school integrates farm life with academic study, so students learn responsibility, cooperation, and practical problem-solving through living and working on the farm. In the Adolescent Community, Mathematics and IT are taught in English and Polish; Science is bilingual (biology, chemistry, geography and physics); English studies; languages; and Microeconomics and Business Studies through running farm-based enterprises; and self-expression through Music, Poetry, and Arts. The Upper School provides Pre-IB preparation with English and Polish instruction, and Spanish as a second language, with private tutoring in French or German.
Self-expression through music, poetry, and arts is part of the Adolescent Community. The team supports creativity with digital art and photography as part of the program. Creativity is connected with broader studies and real-life work on the farm.
