PolandHS Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Hello! I'm mostly new to the boards, although I posted several times last year asking about bilingual ed because we were planning a move to Warsaw, Poland. Well, we've been living here for 6 months, and I'd love to connect with others on the Continent. Educationally, things are going much better than I anticipated. The option that caused me *literally* to lock myself in the bathroom to cry for half an hour last year is the one we picked -- our two oldest kids (almost 6 and almost 4) attend a small, Christian Polish kindergarten (separate classes, but they interact a lot) and we afterschool in English, heavily focusing on reading skills. Our only reason for dropping full-time homeschooling is that bilingualism/biliteracy is very important to us. My husband is Polish. I'd originally intended their preschool attendance to be half-day but they loved it so much that they're attending more often. It's helpful because I also have an infant (8 mos.) and I'm studying Polish four times per week with a private tutor at home, so jumpstarting their Polish this way also gives me the time I need to work on my own. Need to run, but hope to connect with some of you soon! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penguin Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 I remember your posts from when you were planning your move. That is great that it all worked out so nicely. We are in Denmark. We are planning our first trip to Poland in the spring. All I know so far is that we are going to Krakow and Auschwitz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
