Forest Primary School in Kielce is an eight-year non-public primary school placed in Kielce, central Poland.
Education at the Forest School is organised according to the diagnosed needs, abilities and passions of the pupils. It is directed towards the child’s learning process, in which he or she is supported by teachers and a mentor.
A very important element of learning at the School is the organisation of as many activities outside the school building as possible, with particular emphasis on activities in close contact with nature. The natural environment is the space in which activities take place throughout the school year, in all safe weather conditions. Classes therefore take place at the school’s field base and in the woods.

- Following the needs of students;
- Mentorship;
- Project oriented activities;
- Positive feedback;
