The project entitled "Better teacher – wiser student" is a response to needs and aims which were defined by the head teacher, deputy head teacher, teachers and students of Niepubliczne Gimnazjum "Keglik" (Independent Junior High School “Keglik”). Identification of the needs of our organisation was an inspiration for writing this application and the needs, which have been described in it, require the support for our institution and are an opportunity for us to realize our plans and aims. Niepubliczne Gimnazjum "Keglik", in accordance with the leading idea: "Recognize, support, develop - a clever student in Keglik", gathers the most talented young people in our region. One of the priority activities in our organisation is the Europeanness of our school, which will be achieved by allowing our students to explore Europe through direct contacts and improving the quality, attractiveness and effectiveness in learning English among both teachers and students. A student of our school must be an aware citizen of the world, who speaks excellent English and is open to learn about cultural differences and traditions of other nations. Our school strives for the comprehensive development of the student and it is not possible without reliable preparation of teachers to perform their functions.
