Why Kopaliński? 
A school where everyone knows each other… A school often visited by its graduates… A school where the best teachers have been working for years… A school of olympiad winners… A school that fosters empathy and tolerance… – this is how students describe the Kopaliński Bilingual Schools. Back in September 2003, when classes were first starting in our historic building on Legionów street, no other school in either Bielsko-Biała or the surrounding towns offered bilingual education.

Our students were the first to pass bilingual matura exams, which opened the way for them to enrol at Cambridge and King’s College London, as well as in Edinburgh, Brussels or Vienna… These are only some of the places where the first graduates of our budding institution would end up attending. Fifteen years went by, and much has happened in the meantime. Class after class graduated from our primary and secondary schools with consistently excellent results, sending the former classmates off towards flourishing careers. Our students won olympiads and competitions at both national and international levels, successfully pursued scholarships abroad, obtained Cambridge certificates proving their fluency in English, took part in youth exchange programs at schools in Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, Great Britain, France, Norway, Italy, and Greece – and yet nothing was lost of that unique atmosphere that marked the beginning of Kopaliński. What makes Kopaliński special? Not only is it a school that prepares its students for winning competitions and studying at the best universities, but it is, first and foremost, a place which many of our students call their second home. We don’t just teach, we raise – we participate in charity events, promote a healthy lifestyle, engage in voluntary service and encourage students’ self-governance. Times are changing, but Kopaliński remains a school where sympathy and kindness prevail, imparted onto generation after generation of students who choose to come here.
