IH Bielsko-Biala

Bielsko-Biala, Poland

Ours is a small school in a small city in the south of Poland. You'll be joining us in winter, when the city looks magnificent under its blanket of snow. The skiing is good, and many of our teachers enjoy hiking in the mountains too. 

Our school has been running for over thirty years, and has a great reputation locally. Many of our teachers are returning, partly because we are lucky to have such lovely students, and partly because the school offers so much in terms of ongoing professional development. 

As a city, Bielsko-Biala is quite small but very charming. There are mountains all around, perfect for hiking all through the year, and the city itself is full of attractive cafes and restaurants. We're also only an hour or two from bigger cities like Katowice and Krakow, with a lot of interesting sights in-between, making Bielsko-Biala the perfect place to launch your explorations of the area.
