The School with Class Foundation is an expert, non-profit organization, based in Warsaw (Poland). It was founded in October 2015 as a spin-off of the biggest and one of the most successful educational programs in Poland run since 2002.
In the School with Class Foundation we believe that the world of tomorrow depends on the education of today. Our mission is to provide every young person with positive and meaningful educational experiences that will help him/her to become an active, conscious and responsible citizen of the world.
To achieve this mission we work with schools and educational institutions in Poland and abroad, helping them to become innovative, friendly and open environments, engaged in solving social problems, enhancing diversity, with relations based on mutual trust and respect.
We focus on teachers, educators and headmasters as key actors of change. We support them in their professional development, implementing engaging teaching methods and tools. We focus, among others, on flipped lessons, peer-teaching, inquiry based learning, design thinking, problem and project-based learning, agile and scrum – and introduce them to schools to support students’ innovation and independence.
Our knowledge, competencies, resources and experienced staff enable us to have an insight of the needs of young people in their everyday school and outside-school environment.
School with Class has already collaborated with over 9500 schools, 150 000 teachers and over a million students. Each year we work with a vast network of schools (over 2500 a year) both around Poland and abroad.
We collaborate with over 30 different organizations, companies and institutions in 20 different European countries. Our Polish team is composed of 30 full time employees, over 100 trainers and experts.
