Welcome to the Galway Polish Saturday school page
We are the biggest Polish Society in Galway. Our school counts over 200 students. We teach all grades from preschool to secondary school. The school was established in 2009 and now is one of the biggest Polish ethnic schools in Ireland.
Children come to school every Saturday morning for only 4 hours. For us- teachers - it' s a little, but for youth it's a great effort. The students represent different levels of knowledge of the Polish language. There are some who never hear the language spoken at home, and there are those, who communicate with their parents only in Polish. Our main goals are to teach the language and culture of Poland, but also for children to learn about and to respect other cultures, languages, races, and religions. The students of Polish School in Galway should expect a welcoming learning environment, free from prejudice and racism and to relieve the linguistic, social, and cultural disorientation faced by many students.
