HISTORIAcsw-superadmin2024-04-15T15:52:01+02:00
Historia
Nazywam się Monika Chandler i jestem założycielką Kanadyjskiej Szkoły Podstawowej w Warszawie. W roku 2000 roku wraz z mężem rozpoczęliśmy poszukiwania odpowiedniej, dwujęzycznej i wielokulturowej szkoły dla naszych dzieci. W związku z tym, że mój mąż pochodzi z Ameryki Północnej, a ja jestem Polką, potrzebowaliśmy doskonałej szkoły łączącej w sobie międzynarodową mentalność, wysokie standardy programowe, zarówno polskie, jak i amerykańskie, holistyczne podejście, otwartą społeczność, zrównoważone i troskliwe środowisko, a wszystko to w przystępnej cenie! Proszę sobie wyobrazić, jakie to było „łatwe” zadanie!
W końcu znaleźliśmy małe kanadyjskie przedszkole i szkołę podstawową, położone z dala od naszego domu. Szkoła była przytulna, przyjazna i wypełniona uśmiechniętymi twarzami kanadyjskich nauczycieli (wszystkich trzech). Mimo że nie było to rozwiązanie idealne, nasze dzieci były bardzo szczęśliwe i codziennie chętne do nauki. Niestety, tuż przed świętami Bożego Narodzenia, szkoła przestała istnieć z powodu całkowitej rewolucji ze strony rodziców. Oprócz nas były jeszcze dwie rodziny polsko-kanadyjskie, podobnie jak my zrozpaczone i postawione wobec zmartwionych twarzy nauczycieli, pozostawionych samym sobie w obcym kraju w środku roku szkolnego. Nie mogliśmy tego tak zostawić…
Kanadyjska Szkoła Podstawowa została założona 14 lutego 2000 roku w celu zaspokojenia potrzeb edukacyjnych dwujęzycznych rodzin z międzynarodowymi korzeniami. Naszym celem było, i nadal jest, zapewnianie wysokiej jakości kształcenia w przystępnej cenie. Zaczynając z zaledwie pięcioma uczniami, cieszyliśmy się szybkim rozwojem dzięki naszej dobrej reputacji, pasji, opiece i doskonałemu zespołowi nauczycieli. Obecnie mamy trzy kampusy: Przedszkole przy ul. Krasickiego 53 obok uroczego Parku Dreszera, i Szkołę Podstawową przy ul. Bełskiej 7 i Olimpijskiej 11.

What does the above mean at the Canadian School of Warsaw?
It means that our students are taught WHY they should know something and how it connects to other subjects and the world around them. It means high quality teaching and learning—challenging instruction and worldwide knowledge. It also means great opportunities to make friends with other students at IB schools around the world.
How does the IB PYP teach students to be internationally minded?
The Primary Year Program teaches students to be internationally minded through modelling the “Learner Profile.” These characteristics or “Learner Profile” are fundamental to the IB and are present in all IB schools.
(http://www.ibo.org/programmes/profile/)
Who is an “internationally minded” person?
According to the IB PYP, an “internationally minded” person is someone who demonstrates the attributes of the “ IB Learner Profile.”
What does it mean to be “internationally minded”?
At the Canadian School of Warsaw, we focus on moving students toward becoming people who reflect the characteristics of the “Learner Profile”. In other words, they become internationally minded. This perspective applies to who we are and what we do. It reflects how we communicate, understand other cultures, and celebrate diversity.
What is the “Learner Profile?”
These are qualities determined to be most important in creating positive and productive citizens who help to create a better and more peaceful world.
These are qualities determined to be most important in creating positive and productive citizens who help to create a better and more peaceful world.

What will my child be learning at the Canadian School of Warsaw?
With the IB Primary Year Programme at the Canadian School of Warsaw, we are committed to structured inquiry as the most important part of the learning process. Teachers and students are guided by the six transdisciplinary themes— as the design units of inquiry for exploration and study. Through this process, students develop an understanding of important concepts, acquire essential skills and knowledge, develop particular attitudes and learn to take responsible action.
What does “transdisciplinary” mean?
Transdisciplinary is the term that IB uses to describe a discipline that applies across all disciplines – it is interconnected and can be applied across all subjects and to real life. A transdisciplinary concept expanses across subjects and ties them all together; it is not isolated to one subject. For example, the idea of change affects math, science, English, geography—the IB PYP strives to demonstrate this through learning, giving understanding to a real life world.
What are 5 essential elements that the IB curriculum incorporate?
1. CONCEPTS – What do we want students to understand?
There are 8 fundamental concepts expressed as key questions, to propel the process of inquiry. These universal concepts drive the research units—called UNITS OF INQUIRY —but they also have relevance within and across all subject areas (transdisciplinary).
The 8 fundamental concepts are:
– Form: What is it like?
– Responsibility: What is our responsibility?
– Function: How does it work?
– Causation: Why is it like it is?
– Change: How is it changing?
– Connection: How is it connected to other things?
– Perspective: What are the points of view?
– Reflection: How do we know?
2. SKILLS – What do we want students to be able to do?
There are 5 sets of transdisciplinary skills acquired in the process of structured inquiry. These are:
– Thinking
– Communication
– Social
– Research
– Self-Management
3. ATTITUDES – What do we want students to feel, value and demonstrate?
Visit Section II – Important Values in PYP Program
4. ACTION – How do we want students to act?
In the Primary Year Program successful inquiry will lead to responsible action, which is initiated by the student as a result of the learning process. All students will have an opportunity to “choose to act, to decide on their actions, and to reflect on them in order to make a difference in and to the world”. Action can include also service: to fellow students, to the larger community, both in and outside the school.
5. KNOWLEDGE – What do we want students to know about?
In an international environment and community it is improper to dictate what every child should know. Therefore, rather than provide a fixed syllabus or curriculum, the PYP has identified themes, or areas of knowledge, which are used to organize the 6 Units of Inquiry, taught from early childhood through grade 5.
These Units of Inquiry provide the framework (as opposed to a text book curriculum) for a wide variety of resources to be explored in order to accomplish the objectives within each Unit of Inquiry:
– Who We Are
– Where We Are in Place and Time
– How We Express Ourselves
– How the World Works
– How We Organize Ourselves
– Sharing the Planet
Here is a diagram of how IB learners strive to be inquirers, risk-takers, knowledgeable, principled, open-minded, caring, balanced, and reflective.
IB diagram
What actually is a “Unit of Inquiry”?
A Unit of Inquiry usually lasts for 5-7 weeks and the objective is to cover all 6 themes throughout the year. For example, during the Unit of Inquiry “Sharing the Planet” students may spend 6 weeks looking at the access to opportunities and its effect on our lives. Students will answer questions like: How do human rights connect people around the world? Or, are these rights met around the world and what does that mean for people? These concepts and questions move across all school subjects (i.e. math, English, geography, etc.) and apply to real life and the world around us.
How does The Canadian School of Warsaw implement these Units of Inquiry?
These themes or Units of Inquiry, provide a framework on which our teachers build students’ knowledge. With the IB PYP, the priority is to use a wide variety of resources from which both teachers and students extract knowledge, develop understanding and explore ways of implementing that to real life.
Why not use textbooks/workbooks? It seems more systematic?
The IB PYP philosophy believes that students learn best through authentic inquiry. While there is certainly a place in the curriculum for textbooks and workbooks, we also use a wide range of resources that best suit to our students’ individual needs and learning styles. The IB PYP also perceives that it is not knowledge alone that makes a learner successful, but the skills and attitudes they develop along the way.
How are students at the Canadian School of Warsaw tested?
Students are assessed in a variety of ways, including tests, projects, oral presentations and written reports.
Assessment in IB PYP is “criterion referenced.” This means students are scored against standards, not against each other. Teachers will give the students a rubric on larger assignments that explains to the students what is expected of them. The rubric states what the criteria are (in a paper, for instance) and what the score will be for addressing or not addressing each point in that criteria. The rubric allows students to take ownership of their learning process.
What is a RUBRIC?!
A rubric defines what are the standards or requirements that need to be accomplished in order to achieve the overall goal. To help students understand how a rubric works, a teacher can use the following example: “let’s say you’re planning to go out to buy a T-shirt, but before you do, you sit down to come up with some criteria for the T-shirt you hope to buy. Some of the criteria may include cost, style, colour, and brand.” With this exercise, students understand that we use criteria every day to make judgments.
Explain to me a little more about how my child will be assessed at the Canadian School of Warsaw?
At the Canadian School of Warsaw, we believe that assessment is an essential component of the curriculum and the learning process. The IB sees assessment as needing to be authentic, essential, rich, engaging, and feasible—it should include students in the process of evaluating their learning.
Each Unit of Inquiry allows students to demonstrate that learning is taking place. However, it is not always best to show authentic learning through a piece of written work or a traditional exam. Therefore, students may put together a final project, draw, act out a performance, do a presentation, or some other way to show what they have learned. The purpose is for our students to demonstrate that learning has taken place. Through assessment they exhibit what they understand and how they apply that understanding to real life and the world around them.
“Formative” assessment is interwoven into the daily lessons and learning. This on-going process of “checking in” between helps both teachers and students to find out what children already know, in order to plan for the next stage of learning. “Formative” assessment and teaching are directly linked; effective learning cannot take place without one or the other.
“Summative” assessment is the culmination of the teaching and learning process. This is the time that students have the opportunity to demonstrate their understanding and application of what has been learned. It measures understanding of the central idea and takes place at the end of each unit.
How can parents help students with schoolwork?
• Follow up daily with your child to see what homework they have.
• Help your child schedule time so they don’t feel overwhelmed.
• Realize that you will probably help them with (not do) some of their larger projects. Example: some parents help their child create display boards for presentations.
How can you, as a PARENT, get involved?
• Volunteer in your child’s classroom, the library, in the computer lab etc.
• Provide communication between yourself and school that is regular, 2-way, and meaningful.
• Participate as a full partner in decisions that impact your child and family.
• Attend Student-Led Conferences organized during a school year. Portfolios presented at those meetings are a part of documenting student growth and reflections over the course of the students’ elementary career.
• Collaborate with the community, through partnerships, which are mutually beneficial to our school and the community.
• Feel always welcome! Your support and assistance help to make our school the great place that it is!

In the end, here is a summary of what the IB PYP is:
• “The whole art of teaching is only the awakening of the natural curiosity of young minds.” -Anatole France
• “I cannot teach anybody anything, I can only make them think.” – Socrates
• “The whole art of teaching is only the awakening of the natural curiosity of young minds.” -Anatole France
• “I cannot teach anybody anything, I can only make them think.” – Socrates
And this sums up what the IB PYP is NOT:
• “It is possible to store the mind with a million facts and still be entirely uneducated.” – Alec Bourne
• “Passive acceptance of a teacher’s wisdom is easy for most boys and girls. It involves no effort of independent thought.” – Bertrand Russell
This means that at the Canadian School of Warsaw, with the IB PYP, our students in all grades have the opportunity to own their learning. In practice it means that our students do it, make it, and experience it. They ask questions and learn how to find the answers to those questions. Moreover, they apply gained knowledge to their lives and the world around them. With the PYP, students notice connections between things and a real life.
What makes the IB PYP so effective at the Canadian School of Warsaw?
We are truly international community committed to the IB philosophy that fits well our school mission.
The IBO MISSION
The International Baccalaureate Organization aims to develop inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect.
To this end the IBO works with schools, governments and international organization to develop challenging programmes of international education and rigorous assessment.

Our school is well known for its warm community feel – as well as its strong connection with the community – extensive extracurricular programme, exciting and engaging events, strong moral and ethical awareness and high academic results.
The Canadian Preschool of Warsaw
On January 6th, 2014 we officially became an authorized IB school nr 005004.
The decision to adopt the IB Primary Years Programme at our school was driven by a recognition that it encompasses many of the principles we have long held dear and sought to encourage: a positive attitude to learning and the acquisition of new skills, while developing children’s abilities to ask questions and seek satisfying answers. Likewise, both the International Baccalaureate Organization and our school seek to promote the values of mutual respect, tolerance and understanding toward individuals, groups and cultures in all communities. We deliver the PYP Programme for 3-, 4-, 5- and 6-year-olds in English. We teach Mathematics, Science, Language Arts, Social Studies, French, Music, Rhythmics, Art, Coding, Chess, and Physical Education through an inquiry-based approach.
In order to give our students a broader choice for their future educational path, in the oldest groups we implement the official Polish Ministry of Education curriculum. Daily Polish lessons prepare our students for their School Readiness Diagnosis (MEN registration number – 398PN).

HISTORY
My name is Monika Chandler. I am the founder of the Canadian School of Warsaw. In the year 2000 my husband and I started to search for a suitable, bilingual and multicultural school for our children. Since my husband is North American and I am Polish, we were very much in need of the perfect school incorporating international mindedness, strong curriculum standards with both Polish and North American programmes, a holistic approach, open-minded community, balanced and caring environment and all that at an affordable price! Just imagine how easy a task that was!
Finally, we found a small Canadian preschool and elementarny school located far away from our home. The school was cosy, friendly and filled with the perfect smiling faces of the Canadian teachers (all three of them). It was not all we had wished for, but our children were very happy and eager to learn every day. Sadly, just before Christmas, the school ceased to exist due to a complete parent revolution. There were two other Polish-Canadian families, just like us in a great deal of distress and faced with the very sad faces of the teachers left alone in a strange country in the middle of the school year. We couldn’t leave it that way…
The Canadian School of Warsaw was founded on February 14th, 2000 to cater for the bilingual educational needs of families with international origins. Our goal was, and continues to be, to provide high-quality education at affordable price. Starting with only five students, we have enjoyed rapid growth thanks to our good reputation, passion, care and excellent team of teachers. We now have 3 campuses: the Preschool at 53 Krasickiego Street near to the charming Dreszer Park, and the Elementary School at 7 Bełska Street and 11 Olimpijska Street.
