Some of the most meaningful parts of school life happen beyond the classroom - when students are learning to rely on one another, navigating new challenges and discovering what they can achieve together.

Our Year 11 students experienced this first-hand during their recent trip to Giżycko. Three days of outdoor adventure, exploration and shared experiences gave them a chance to strengthen friendships, challenge themselves and grow together as a year group.

Climbing, kayaking, orienteering and wild cooking put teamwork to the test, while a campfire, go-karting and time spent together created space for conversations, laughter and new connections. Visits to Skansen Kurpiowski, Boyen Fortress and Wilczy Szaniec brought the history, culture and landscape of the region to life beyond the classroom.

More than anything, the trip was about discovering new sides of one another, supporting each other through challenges and building the connections that turn a group of students into a community.

Three days of shared experiences, new challenges, plenty of moments to remember - and a stronger sense of belonging to take back with them.

As our students’ interests continue to grow across areas such as mechanical, chemical, biomedical and computer engineering, we saw an exciting opportunity to create a dedicated space where they can explore, design, build, and bring their ideas to life.

The new Engineering Lab at Akademeia is equipped with a range of hands-on tools and technologies, including 3D printers, professional-grade milling and drilling machines, and other resources that allow students to move beyond theory and experience the engineering process for themselves.

With lab coats, safety glasses, ear protection, and plenty of opportunities to experiment, create, and problem-solve, students can truly step into the world of engineering.

It’s a fantastic addition to our facilities and, most importantly, a space designed to encourage curiosity, creativity, practical learning, and a genuine passion for engineering.

A wonderful start to the new school year at the British Primary School of Wilanów.

Our Headmaster and representatives of Akademeia High School were delighted to join the BSW community for its Back to School Picnic.

Thank you to the British Primary School of Wilanow for the kind invitation and for bringing together such a vibrant community of pupils, families, educators and friends. We greatly enjoyed meaningful conversations, new connections and catching up with members of the community we are so pleased to know and work alongside.

We look forward to continuing our close relationship with the BSW community and to many more opportunities to connect throughout the year.

Academic year 2026/27 is already in full swing, but in our Admissions team, we’re already thinking about the next one.

Last week, we hosted our first Open Morning of the year, welcoming prospective parents and families to our school. We gathered in the warm and welcoming atmosphere of our library, enjoying a cup of coffee and some delicious treats along the way.

Our Headmaster shared how the British curriculum, combined with our unique approach to learning, helps students achieve outstanding academic results and gain admission to some of the world’s most prestigious universities.

The event also gave families the opportunity to meet our Admissions, Leadership and University teams, as well as hear directly from our students during our student panel.

It was a wonderful morning of conversations, questions and insights into what makes our school such a special place to learn and grow.

Our next Open Day is on 17 October - register now! https://www.akademeia.edu.pl/admissions/open-days-events

This year, our new students in Years 9-12 have been paired with Year 13 buddies, giving them a friendly face to turn to as they settle into school life.

From practical tips and everyday questions to encouragement and guidance, our older students are here to support their younger peers and help them feel at home from day one. 🤝

The 2026/27 academic year is officially underway! ✏️📚 What a week it has been, full of new beginnings, new faces, and plenty of firsts.

Students received their lockers and schedules, stepped into their first lessons, met their teachers, and had their first mentoring hour. They also took part in integration activities designed to help them get to know one another and build connections across the community.

So many firsts in just one week - and this is only the beginning!

We’re excited to see where the year takes us as our students embark on a journey filled with discovery, learning, growth, and new opportunities. Here’s to a fantastic 2026/27!

There could be no better way for Akademeia to begin the new academic year than by welcoming a truly distinguished guest - Her Excellency Dame Melinda Simmons, British Ambassador to Poland. 🇬🇧🇵🇱

Our Headmaster, Dr Watras, introduced Her Excellency by reflecting on the long-standing relationship between Britain and Poland and what it means to be a British school - proudly the first school in Poland to achieve BSO, HMC and COBIS accreditations.

The Ambassador then joined Staś, Charlotte, Kesaria and Lena for a student-led discussion, exploring diplomacy, her experiences in Poland and Ukraine, and the importance of curiosity, adaptability, continuous learning, merit and meaningful networks.

A truly inspiring conversation, and a fitting way to step into the next decade of learning, teaching and growing as a British educational institution.
