School presentation. Language Laboratories, School of Genius (SG), is one of the first language schools In Poland (est. in 1968). Till today it is a unique scientific and educational unit, where each student has an individually designed programme of learning in a foreign language, including Astronomy, Neuropsychology and Robotics. Classes at SG are individually prepared for each student. Individual programmes include updated ICT tools carefully adapted to the Student’s interest. The Project Polish Academy of Kids is the first university run by kids on an international scale, where Young Scientists can freely choose the field of scientific interest. Lecturers are from 6 to 20 years old and examine magnetic levitation, the missing links of vertebrates’ evolution or dogs, cats and insects. They decide about the scope of research and adults only help them with the technical aspects and show reliable sources of knowledge.

We work under the patronage of Ministry of Science and Education, Patent Office, Ministry of Education, Jagiellonian University and many others. For more details visit website: akademiadzieci.edu.pl.
