A Path to Polish Language and Culture for Today's Families
Many Polish-American families face a common challenge: they want their children to learn Polish and stay connected to their heritage, but their children are growing up primarily speaking English.
At Jan Matejko Polish School, we have created a pathway that helps children build Polish language skills in a supportive and age-appropriate environment.
Start Early: Pre-K and Kindergarten
The preschool and kindergarten years are the ideal time to introduce a child to a second language. Young children learn naturally through play, songs, stories, movement, and interaction with their peers.
Our Pre-K and Kindergarten programs provide a welcoming environment where children begin learning Polish while exploring Polish traditions, holidays, and culture.
Most importantly, children develop positive associations with the language and build confidence from an early age.
Continue Growing: Bilingual Polish-English Program
As children grow, families can continue their language journey through our Bilingual Polish-English Program.
This program is designed specifically for children who may understand some Polish but feel more comfortable communicating in English. Lessons provide support in both languages while gradually increasing exposure to Polish.
Students learn at their own pace in a low-pressure environment focused on building confidence, communication skills, and cultural connection.
A Program Designed for Today's Polish-American Families
Every family has a different language background.
Some children hear Polish at home every day. Others understand only a few words. Many families include one parent who does not speak Polish. Our programs recognize these realities and provide flexible pathways that help every child succeed.
