The school was set in 1997 and is attached to the Polish Philology Department. Its headteacher and the author of the curriculum is prof. dr hab. Irena Sarnowska-Giefing. Every year we bring about a hundred individuals coming from all over the world to attend our classes. The school offers classes led by well qualified and experienced lectors and academic teachers of the Adam Mickiewicz University. Moreover, the school provides its students with varied cultural and entertaining program.

Accommodation: All participants are accommodated in double rooms in the student dormitory "Jowita", 7 Zwierzyniecka St. (the cost of accommodation is included in the fee).

Participants can also choose to live in single rooms, for extra 90 EUR. However, the number of single rooms is limited. Accommodation in such rooms is possible upon prior reservation made on application form (on 'first come, first served' basis); upon arrival only if available.

If any participant prefer to arrange accommodation on their own the fee is 470 EUR and covers only teaching. In this case the costs of accommodation, meals and the cultural and tourist programme have to be covered by student him/herself.

Meals: A university cafeteria will provide three meals a day (the cost is included in the fee). Special dietary arrangements are possible for vegetarians.

Highlights: Poznan is one of the richest cities in historical monuments in Poland, both in terms of their value and number.

The most valuable ones are concentrated in three areas: the island of Ostrów Tumski (Cathedral Island), the Old Town and the Centre.

In addition, Poznan belongs to the select group of cities that boast examples of all architectural periods - from the Romanesque, through Gothic, Reinassance, Baroque to the eclectic and the modernist.
Enjoy your stay in our city!
