More than 15 years of a beautiful tradition
The school in Fredrikstad boasts more than 15 years of tradition in teaching the Polish language and promoting Polish culture in Norway. Throughout these years, the institution, operating with the support of the Polish Association in Fredrikstad, has become a place valued by Polish families for its stability, trust and high standard of education.
The key to its success is its committed teaching staff. Teachers make sure that every Saturday spent at a school desk or in a preschool classroom is a safe, inspiring and smile-filled adventure for children.
Why attend a Polish school?
Regular classes at Saturday school bring many benefits to young Poles living in Norway:
Developing bilingualism
Children learn to read and write fluently in Polish. This helps them stay in touch with family in Poland, better understand their roots and build self-esteem.
Exam preparation
Older students can take advantage of specialist classes preparing them for the Polish as a second language examination. The skills they acquire can be a major asset at later stages of education.
Polish community
School is not just about learning. It is also a place where children meet peers with similar backgrounds and make new friends. Parents, in turn, gain a space to integrate and exchange experiences.
New: a scout group for boys
One of the biggest new developments this year will be the establishment of a boys' scout group operating at the school.
It is an offer for boys who enjoy adventure and active time outdoors. The activities will help them develop resourcefulness, independence and teamwork skills – all in a Polish-speaking environment and in the spirit of traditional values.
The school year begins on 12 September
The school invites parents and students to the joint opening of the new school year, to be held on 12 September 2026.
