Complex of Silesian International Schools offers education on the highest world level. It is the only school in Silesia that delivers a full range of programmes, from the early childhood education to baccalaureate, in accordance with two prestigious, worldwide programmes: Cambridge International Examinations Programme and International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme. The school was awarded in 2007 an International Center status by University of Cambridge International Examinations (CIE) that is the world’s largest provider of international education in 150 countries and recognized across the world. The education of the ‘whole person’ is of a special significance in the school. Students are taught how to learn, how to analyse and how to reach conclusions about people all over the world. On the other hand, academic training provides them with the values and opportunities that will enable them to succeed in the competitive world.
Foundation of Entrepreneurial Society Development is an organisation that cooperates with local volunteers and support them in all activities that are offered them in the foundation. We want to give them a possibility to achieve new competencies by taking part in projects abroad. The main aim is to help the youngsters to enter the labour market without any difficulties. Apart from that, FRSP offers consulting in terms of acquiring finances for NGOs, self-government and companies.
