SPECIAL SCHOOL AND EDUCATIVE CENTRE
OF THE SOCIETY OF THE FRIENDS OF CHILDREN
Existing since 1968. It is an institution with many years of practice in working with persons with disabilities. We work for the development of a juvenile in the various spheres of his life and we support him on the way to self-reliance and independence. We teach how to live together in a group, ways of spending leisure time, autonomy. The Centre offers boarding-school, which is a place of residence, work on yourself and recreation for children and youth staying five and seven days, from across Poland, attending primary and secondary schools as well as job training school.
Our pupils have the opportunity to participate in activities:
Inseparably with the functions and tasks of the boarding-school are related competencies of educators. Therefore, we employ highly qualified workers who are special educators, as well as an auxiliary staff - teacher assistants. We also use the assistance of domestic and foreign volunteers. We are anxious that the institution has continuously grown and served for many years children and young persons with disabilities. So we are still improving the shape of our work with the charges. Our guests are always moved by the smile on the faces of our pupils, directness in dealing with the caregivers, joy and spontaneity of our children.
