Let the school know you're thinking of applying — they can share their prerequisites and help you through the process.
It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
Part of the Warsaw Montessori Family network, the Farm School includes bilingual Montessori schools at every developmental stage—from nursery through high school with the IB program—to the Montessori Farm School. The Farm School Folwark Białka was established in September 2022, and is the culmination of the founder's dreams as Poland's first residential Montessori school for young people aged 12–18. Małgosia Tarnowska is the owner and founder, and Montessori pedagogy is her passion, life philosophy and mission. Living close to nature shapes the school's approach and its commitment to Montessori education as a guiding philosophy.
Montessori Farm School operates a residential adolescent community on Folwark Białka. Students live, study, and work on the farm, sharing duties such as caring for animals, cooking, budgeting, shopping, and housekeeping. They learn responsibility, teamwork, and the basics of marketing and trade by producing and selling homegrown vegetables, honey from the apiary, preserves, and handicrafts. Teachers and mentors live and work at the school, serving as trusted role models.
Montessori Farm School in Poland is a private, bilingual Montessori community for adolescents aged 12 to 18, with a residential option for upper secondary students. It sits within the Warsaw Montessori Family network and extends the Montessori ethos into a farm-based, real-life learning environment. The curriculum blends Montessori methods, the IB Diploma Program at the pre-IB level, and a bespoke Polish high-school alignment. English is used for entrance interviews and instruction, while Polish is taught alongside Spanish as a second language, with private tutoring in French or German available. The Upper School operates from the Center for Study and Work at Radzyń Podlaski and provides hands-on, place-based education that begins with Visual Arts and Theatre and extends through biology-chemistry and math-physics. Students live on site, work on the farm, and run small enterprises, selling vegetables, honey, and crafts, fostering independence and social responsibility. Extracurriculars include beekeeping, arts, and cultural celebrations.
