Szkoła Narodowa Polska w Paryżu

Polish Embassy in Paris (Szkoła Narodowa Polska w Paryżu)

Szkoła Narodowa Polska w Paryżu ("Polish School in Paris"; French: École polonaise Paris), also known as the School at Batignolles (Polish: Szkoła Batiniolska; French: École polonaise des Batignolles) is a Polish international school at the Polish embassy in the 17th arrondissement of Paris, France.[1][2]

It includes primary school up to lyceum (senior high school/sixth form college).[2]

The history of the schools dates to mid-19th century, and it is seen as an important element of Polish-French culture, particularly for the Polish people in France.[3]

History

The school first opened in Catillon-sous-Baneux in October 1842, and moved to Paris in 1843.[3]

Part-time school

It has Wednesday and Saturday part-time classes, and its instruction includes Polish history, the Polish language, and Polish geography. Students may get extra points on the French Baccalaureate for completing these classes, and due to this reason and the school's role in preserving Polish culture and the Polish language, Polish parents in the Paris area highly value the school.[4]

Location

Ewelina Dabaene, the author of "Emigration Versus Mobility. The Case of the Polish Community in France and Ireland," wrote that Polish families living in outerlying parts of the Paris area may find that this school, located in central Paris, is "not an easy reach".[4]
