About school

The Henryk Sienkiewicz School in Edmonton was founded out of a passion for education and a desire to cultivate Polish tradition and culture in Canada. From the very beginning, our institution aimed to provide Polish children with high-quality education in Polish, while enabling them to integrate with the Canadian education system.

The school began operating in 1992 as a response to the growing needs of the Polish community in Edmonton. From the very beginning, we have strived to create a space where our students would not only develop their language skills, but also learn about and respect Polish history, traditions and values.

In 2003, our school gained the status of a Private School Accredited by the Ministry of Education in Alberta, which allowed our students to earn credits for courses such as: Polish 15, 25 and 35. Thanks to this, students of the Henryk Sienkiewicz School have the opportunity to continue learning Polish at the secondary level, and also apply for recognition of their skills on the job market in the future.

In 2010, in response to growing demand, we launched a new program – Introduction to Polish Language Learning. It is intended for children aged 8-12 who do not yet know Polish and cannot attend classes appropriate for their age. This program has become a huge support for children who are just starting their adventure with Polish language and culture.

Our school not only focuses on educating children and young people, but also offers language courses for adults. Every Saturday we organize classes that give adults the opportunity to learn and improve their language skills.

Over the years, the school has gained recognition in Edmonton's Polish community, and its graduates are an example of the success that can be achieved by combining modern education with tradition. Our school is not just a place of learning - it is a community in which every student, parent and teacher is part of a large Polish family.
