2. OUR SCHOOL
Our school is fairly small (200 students aged
13-16) with total number of students
amounting to about 1300. It is located in a
rural town of Bilgoraj (30,000 inhabitants).
The official name of our institution is Zespol
Szkol Ogolnokształcacych, which is actually a
set of two schools: upper secondary school
and lower secondary school. The latter was
created due to changes in the
educational system and students
and parents’ interest in
studying at our school.

3. The prestige, high level of education, very good conditions, wide range of
possibilities to develop both intellectually and physically distinguish our
school from other schools in the whole area. As a result, our school is
generally chosen by clever, ambitious young people who are ready to
study and demand a lot from themselves.
At the school students can:
-learn 2-3 foreign languages out of 7: English, German, French, Russian,
Italian, Spanish or Latin
-learn foreign languages in small language groups
-have professional help with preparations for subject contests and
competitions
-benefit from cooperation with universities: Maria Curie-Skłodowska
University (UMCS) in Lublin and Biłgoraj, AGH University of Science and
Technology in Kraków, which invite our students to their lectures and
classes
-exchange trips abroad to sister schools in France and Germany.

universally our school offers various forms
of extra – curricular activities. These are:

Poland which have at least two laureates or
finalists of subject contests. In 2011 our school got
