We have a wide range of resources available and are happy to extend our range of materials if our team needs something new. There is also the opportunity to make use of IT in the classroom – free Internet access is available in our main schools, and 50% of our classrooms are equipped with interactive whiteboards.

Lukow offers a very low cost of living, friendly people and the opportunity to experience real Polish life. There are also all of the amenities you would expect (gyms, a cinema, restaurants, bars, swimming pools, bowling / pool centre, shops & supermarkets, etc). The town is also surrounded by nature & forests. Warsaw and Lublin are around 90 mins away and are ideal for a weekend break.

We are the biggest employer of native-level teachers in our region, with a British owner, so there will always be someone around who you can easily communicate with.
