Sharing the gospel through teaching English since 1989.

One of the best known schools in the city recognized for its effective teaching and friendly atmosphere.

Offering a unique oportunity for student-teacher contact through conversation groups, weekends away, language camps and genuine friendships.

From a student: "We would spend every day there if we could."

From a teacher: "The language school has a great reputation - a direct application of doing everything as if you are doing it for the Lord."

Wroclaw Language School opened its doors in October of 1989 and has been going strong ever since.

But the story began much further back, with Mrs Ruth Kowalczuk, the school's founder and first director. She worked for many years as a teacher of English at the Wroclaw Economics Academy, and for many years was the only speaker of English at the Baptist Church, and therefore often translated for foreign visitors at the church.

In those days Poles had very little contact with native speakers of English. God gave Ruth the idea for a summer camp, bringing together foreign believers with young Poles who wanted to improve their English. It would be a way to teach language and talk about Christian faith at the same time

The idea for a school of English grew out of the camp success. Why not do the same all year round? Even though the government was still highly suspicious of Westerners, Ruth finally won permission from the relevant officials, recruited the first set of teachers, raised money for materials and equipment, and launched the school.

It so happened that the autumn of 1989 also saw the beginning of democracy here, and during the years since, Poland has become a part of Europe. It is a member of NATO and European Union. Since then, the school has grown and matured with about ten teachers on the staff each year. We have had teachers from the US, Britain, New Zealand, Ireland, Holland and even Hungary. Most of the teachers stay two or three years, but some have stayed longer.

In 1997 Mrs Kowalczuk retired and Marek Horyza took over as director.

In 2006 after nine years Marek Horyza resigned from the position of the School Director and his duties were taken by the school's ex-student and teacher - Anula Witkowska.
