School of Fine Arts in Wrocław

School of Fine Arts comprises two self-contained schools which are at the same time closely connected with each other by the joint organs of the school (that is Headmistress, board of teachers, board of parents, and school government). The first of them Ogólnokształcąca Szkoła Sztuk Pięknych is a six-year-long school educating at both "gimnazjum" and "post-gimnazjum" levels (starting at the age of 13). The second one is "Liceum Plastyczne" which is a four-year-long school educating at "post-gimnazjum" level (starting with the age of 16).



Comprehensive training does not depart from the education programme proposed in other "gimnazja" and secondary schools. It is based on the Ministry of National Education syllabus and includes all compulsory subjects. At the end of the education in both schools students may take the "Matura exam"( roughly equivalent to British A-levels examination and quite similar to French baccalaureat), which is necessary to study at University.



Artistic training, based on the Ministry of Culture programmes, comprises: Painting and Drawing, Sculpture, Design, Graphics, Jewellery, Photography, History of Art. Artistic education is supplemented by yearly plein-air workshops in Poland and abroad, trips abroad connected with history of art, visits to museums, galleries, organising exhibitions.


The school offers three specialisations: Design, Jewellery, Graphics. Having positively passed a diploma exam graduates are granted the title of an artist. The graduates of our school eagerly continue their education at Academies of Fine Art in Poland and abroad. They also study Architecture, Garden design, History of Art, Culture, Foreign languages.

School of Fine Arts is a state school so no fees are paid by the students.
