Sapiens UP

A school that adjusts to the needs of the student

Our Mission

We aspire to develop new responsible leaders of the world, free to think and create, competent and capable of lifelong learning.

Middle and High School
(6-11 grades)

In our modern education school, we understand that the traditional education system cannot meet the diverse needs of every student.
It is essentially outdated, offering the student to memorize and reproduce content, but not teaching how to implement their ideas and respond to all their challenges.
Therefore, we implement an innovative school, along with a modern, non-classical approach to education, which prepares our students for the realities of rapidly changing life.
We consider the unique talents, interests, aspirations, and abilities of each child and create a safe place for them to explore their ideas, show initiative, and find their own recipe for happiness and harmony.
We focus on building communities united by common ideas or values, and encourage our students to think unconventionally, develop their own systems, and rules.

Sapiens UP is not just an educational institution for teenagers. It is a democratic school of a new format, where students and teachers become part of an international community united by values and goals. It helps to develop important skills that will definitely come in handy in life.

School that meets all needs

The Sapiens UP Democratic School for Teens was created to make learning not only comfortable, but also interesting and useful. It is more than just an educational institution - it is an environment where teenagers can develop, support each other, and learn about the world around them.

An approach that works 100%

The author of the school's idea, Olena Tkachova, conducted her own research into the needs of 13-17-year-olds currently living abroad. This allowed her to create a unique format of education that meets the modern requirements and wishes of students. Here is how a democratic school for teenagers meets these needs.

  • Sincere dialogue. The school maintains a constant, relaxed communication between students and teachers. It is a place of trust and mutual respect.
  • Skills development. Collaborative activities help develop communication, creative and personal skills. Students not only learn theory, but also learn how to apply their knowledge in practice.
  • Real-life experience. The school helps students gain practical skills, focusing on the modern interests and needs of teenagers. Students take part in projects, trips and excursions, which promotes socialisation and personal growth.
  • Language learning. English and Polish are taught in accordance with the individual goals and pace of each student. Languages become a tool for research, communication, and solving real-world problems.
  • Understanding and respect. In a democratic school for teenagers, every student feels supported at all levels. It is a place where it is safe to learn about yourself and the world around you.

A democratic school for teenagers provides all the opportunities for learning, as well as a chance to find their place in a large international community.

An ecosystem aimed at unlocking potential

At the UP Democratic School, teenagers do what they are really interested in and have a talent for. Here, students can choose their own vector of education.

  1. There are 6 curricula, each of which includes in-depth study of English, Polish, sports, IT literacy classes, and soft skills training.
  2. Development of an educational trajectory in accordance with the future goals and needs of the teenager.
  3. A document on education from Optima School or IGCSE / A-LEVEL diploma - depending on the chosen option.

The Sapiens UP Democratic School meets the needs of teenagers for comfortable learning. We foster a conscious stance in learning, teach adaptation and flexibility to changes in real life.

Democratic principles and values of the school

Every teenager has the right to freedom and choice. A democratic school has a unique ecosystem that provides intercultural contacts for academic learning, constant interaction, and exchange of ideas. Teenagers can get not only a high-quality modern education, but also important life experience right now. We educate harmonious and independent individuals who are ready to face any challenges of the future.

Our educational principles are based on the following principles

  • Freedom of choice and expression, personal development path;
  • active role of teenagers in the educational process;
  • lifelong learning, the desire for self-improvement;
  • ecological thinking - awareness of the impact of one's actions on the environment;
  • democracy - creating mechanisms for transparent and open decision-making.

The values of a democratic school contribute to the creation of a learning environment where adolescents develop useful skills, interact, engage in cognitive and creative activities, influence others, and get to know themselves better.
