PRINCIPAL

Ms. Justyna Rejba-Chuba

A versatile educator with over fifteen years of experience, I have spent six years with the CSW team where – besides teaching French – I mentored teacher advancement and created the French curriculum for the school’s Middle Years Programme (MYP).

I graduated from the Warsaw University Centre for Foreign Language Teacher Training in order to become a qualified teacher (partly completed in Paris) and have a Master’s degree in Journalism and Communication from the University of Warsaw. I also completed postgraduate studies in education management at the University of Warsaw.

As Principal, in addition to my organizational and administrative duties, I am responsible for ensuring the implementation of policies and procedures and for maintaining the school’s educational development, its academic advancement, respected public image and continued growth.

My primary focus is on our beloved students: their needs, development, and wellbeing. I ensure that every student’s voice is heard, and that appropriate support is provided.

I facilitate effective collaboration and clear communication; oversee the day-to-day running of the faculty, and provide a safe, respectful, and positive teaching/learning environment. In so doing, I maintain positive relationships between all members of the school community and pledge my commitment to transparency and honesty.

Outside of school, I am a proud mother and love spending time with my daughter, my family and my friends. In addition to which, I enjoy reading, cooking, World Cinema and keeping fit.

IB PYP COORDINATOR

Ms. Urszula Jasieńska

I joined the Canadian School of Warsaw in April 2009, bringing with me over five years of experience in teaching English as a foreign language. Since then, I have had the pleasure of working with students across Grades 1–8, taking on new challenges, and growing alongside the school community. I have also been involved in coordinating the PYP Exhibition, an experience that has strengthened my passion for student agency, inquiry, and meaningful learning.
I graduated from the English Teacher Training College and studied Polish Philology for Media at the University of Warsaw. As a strong believer in the IB philosophy and a lifelong learner myself, I continuously seek opportunities to grow, explore new ideas, and develop my teaching practice through professional development, workshops, and conferences.
At the heart of my teaching philosophy is the belief that children learn best when they feel empowered to take ownership of their learning. I strive to create an environment where students are encouraged to ask questions, think critically, reflect, take risks, and discover their own potential. I believe that learning is an ongoing process of exploring, questioning, unlearning, and relearning. My hope is to help students develop not only the skills and understanding they need to navigate an ever-changing world, but also the confidence and compassion to make a positive difference in it.
Outside the classroom, I am a happy wife and proud mom of two wonderful kids. I enjoy good food, singing, writing, and, most importantly, spending quality time with my family and friends.

Mr. Jesse

Grade 4 Homeroom Teacher

My journey in education began during my undergraduate studies in Canada working as a teaching assistant through my Social Psychology program. I quickly discovered how much I enjoyed working with students and helping them grow, and I went on to complete a Master of Teaching at the University of Toronto.
After graduating, I was awarded my teaching certificate through the Ontario College of Teachers (OCT) and spent two years as a full-time classroom teacher. I also received my TEFL certification and regularly utilize this knowledge in the classroom.

Mr. Thomas

Grade 5a Homeroom Teacher

Originally from Stroud in the United Kingdom, I am a native English speaker who brings a global perspective to our classroom, having taught diverse learners across multiple countries and age groups. I am delighted to join the Canadian School of Warsaw community and share in your child’s learning journey this year.
I hold a BA (Hons) degree in English Literature from the University of Southampton, and my international teaching experience spans various levels from beginner to advanced, where I’ve specialized in making learning come alive through cross-curricular connections, project-based activities, and creative approaches that naturally align with the PYP framework.
My teaching philosophy centres on creating an environment where every child feels valued for their unique contributions, and guiding them towards greater independence, self-belief and agency. I believe genuine progress flourishes when students feel encouraged to take risks and celebrate growth alongside their peers.
I’m also an avid reader, and strongly believe in both reading for pleasure, and to learn. Our ability to communicate effectively comes from having control over the language we use, and we are lucky to have a rich pantheon of literature from which to draw our inspiration. My personal favourite (amongst others) is How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie.

Mr. Joshua

I believe that activating students’ existing curiosity is the key to a good education and I build my classes around the questions they already bring with them.
In my free time, I love exploring Warsaw’s parks and relaxing with a good cup of coffee.

I believe in my students’ potential and aim to make learning, including competition preparation, an enjoyable challenge that fosters curiosity, perseverance, and a sense of achievement.

Polish Teacher (maternity leave)

Ms. Kasia

I am a graduate of the University of Warsaw, where I graduated in Polish philology, obtaining a master’s degree and professional qualifications as a Polish language teacher in primary, middle and high school, and as a speech therapist. Even before starting my studies, due to my interest in theater and acting, I took part in various theater workshops during which I had the opportunity to see for myself what the specificity of the art of acting is. In theater, I am fascinated by exploring both my own possibilities and limitations, and shaping my own character. I like to use my theatrical experience during Polish lessons, introducing, among others, drama form, thanks to which my students learn in an unconventional way, and the knowledge gained through experience stays with them for longer.

During my studies I became convinced of the charms of the profession of a Polish teacher, and during the internships and internships I experienced how much joy and satisfaction this profession brings. Working with children and young people is extremely inspiring for me, and the opportunity to share my knowledge and observe the development of young people gives a sense of fulfillment, becomes a motivation to look for new, interesting forms of teaching, as well as to improve my own teaching workshop, so that every day, I become a better educator with the lessons learned. During the classes, I try to use various forms of teaching to maximize the involvement of students in the lesson and encourage them to work together. I try to instill in my pupils a curiosity to discover new things and phenomena so that they can not only gain knowledge, but also use it on other levels, both scientific and life.

In my work, I am guided by consistency, I try to use the time allocated to classes in such a way that students can get the most out of them.

Privately, I am a cheerful, energetic person with a positive attitude towards the world and people. I like to spend my free time actively, use it to explore new, interesting places, travel, close and distant, meetings with friends, developing my passions and physical activity in various forms. There are also times when I like to calm down, relax with my favorite music, with an interesting book in my hand and a cat on my lap. I have a weakness for spring flowers, Masurian sunsets and … chocolate.

Based on the success of a single year of intensive French studies at high school – where I was recognised as the leading student – I was given the opportunity to go to France.

Mr. Bartek

I am a geographer specializing in hydrology and meteorology with special interest in water management in urban areas. I have finished Geography at Maria-Curie Skłodowska University in Lublin and now it is time for me to continue my journey at the University of Warsaw.

I believe that the teacher during their class should be the one that says the least. It is up to the students to find out what is going on around them and simply be curious about the world around them, to ask questions, to try something on their own. The whole world is new for them after all and thus the teacher should be the guide, helping find the right way to understand the environment.

13 years ago (by accident) it turned out that teaching dance is my other big passion, both kids and adults. Three years ago I had a great experience attending summer workshops for dance teachers in the Broadway Dance Center in New York. Do I like teaching? Love it! I love to share my passion with others and to see their progress, but most of all I love it when they really enjoy it.

Little known facts about me: in the meantime I was a homeroom teacher in kindergarten. Another one of my passions is snowboarding.

Ethics Teacher

Ms. Sylwia 

Working at school is one of my passions. I am a graduate of the Faculty of Philosophy at the University of Warsaw and Psychology at the International Academy of Personnel Management. I have been working as a teacher since 2006. For 10 years I was associated with the “Bednarska” school complex. I worked there as a teacher of philosophy and ethics, poetry and film workshops.
