These values are mutual respect, open dialogue, freedom, and responsibility.
The school is designed for 75 students who understand the essence of self-development and feel themselves as active participants and co-creators of their education.
The curriculum works like a Lego constructor - assembled according to the needs of each student, offering them a variety of activities/lessons/forms of learning/knowledge areas both in distance and face-to-face formats. Some of the main teaching tools are intensive language study (Polish and English)/coaching/project-based learning/academic base/specializations.
Sapiens was created in 2018 by Olena Tkachova as an alternative to the traditional education system, which over time grew from a project into a full-fledged innovative school with a curriculum aimed at developing future competencies.
In February 2023, Elena began to search for people who had the same feelings, views, and desires to build a community of free and responsible creators. This is how she met with the best distance school "Optima", with which she opened the Sapiens UP Democratic School for Teenagers in Warsaw in partnership.
Partners formed a team, which now consists of 19 people of 8 different nationalities.
