Szkoła międzynarodowa w Katowicach - CSIS Katowice

The curriculum proposed by Cambridge University is a flexible learning schedule which can be adjusted to suit the needs of every student. Frameworks are designed to encourage learners to gain further knowledge in a creative and active way. Native speakers of English are welcome to English Literature course, during which they extend their reading comprehension and writing skills, at the same time studying literary masterpieces. In justified cases, advanced English students who are not native speakers are allowed to enrol for the course. Learners whose native language is other than English are welcome to English as a Second Language Course, during which they master their skills in the fields of grammar, use of English, reading comprehension, writing and speaking. Also, starting from the CP stage, students are required to study a third language, in the case of our school being either German or Spanish. Polish is taught to both native speakers and foreigners, providing appropriate courses for each group of learners. The course on Mathematics focuses on six study areas: number, algebra, geometry, measure, handling data and problem solving. Not only do learners make use of their computational skills, but also of their mental skills since practical problems are analysed along with classical, theoretical exercises. The course on Sciences is further divided into the following subjects: Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Geography. The purpose is to teach to students the principles and applications of scientific inquiry and the importance of environmental protection, at the same time extending their general knowledge of the world and its contemporary problems. Social and environmental awareness is raised thanks to creative and active learning.

No external assessment is compulsory at the end of the CP stage. Teachers provide students with continuous feedback , making them aware of their strong and weak points in each field of study. Thanks to the above, it is convenient for them to choose the later examination subjects at the end of their IGCSE course..

The teaching materials used in our school are the most up-to-date handbooks, supported by official teacher resource books and workbooks. Publishers whose handbooks we teach from are: Cambridge University Press, Oxford University Press, Nelson Thornes, Edelsa and other acknowledged ones. Moreover, online teaching materials are applied, such as videos, quizzes, etc.

We are proud to say that all of our classrooms are equipped with modern SMART boards. These SMART boards allow students to explore lessons in the interactive way. They create an interesting environment for learning and give students a wonderful experience. Our learners can gain knowledge by using computers, tablets and other electronic devices that can be connected to the boards. Thanks to them students can be active in their lessons and comprehend concepts in an easy and more natural way.

Our school, as a representative of Cambridge Schools, belongs to a huge community. We exchange and share our ideas internationally during training workshops or conferences. Moreover, we focus on using social media to keep in touch with the rest of the world. Please follow us on Facebook and experience the richness of international life.
