We teach in trust
Home of Bears is pedagogical innovation and linguistic innovation in teaching English. We teach using children's enthusiasm, children's curiosity, children's willingness to take action. We direct our attention to shaping internal motivation - which is lasting and brings benefits in the perspective longer than a month or a year. Children and young people participating in our English courses develop their linguistic, communicative, social and emotional competences. We do not separate these spheres, because we believe in the holistic development of a young person.
Pandas Courses
Our classes are for preschool children – from 3 to 6 years old. During classes, children are immersed in English, and therefore learn it in a natural way. Additionally, classes are based on numerous repetitions of whole sentences using lexical and grammatical material.
Grizzly Cubs Courses
These are our courses dedicated to children of younger school age (grades 1-3). During classes, children are invited to participate in a variety of activities – speaking, singing, writing, dancing, pasting, cutting, painting…etc. Thanks to such numerous activities, children learn the language in a holistic way.
Grizzly Youngsters Courses
These English courses are designed for younger youth – grades 4 to 6 of primary school. This is a time of huge changes happening in the brains of our charges. This is a difficult time from their perspective, because the perception of themselves and their place in the communities to which we belong is changing.
Polars Courses
Polars courses are designed for high school students. These courses are eclectic in terms of the content they learn. They are characterized by collecting content and interpreting it, and building new skills on a strong foundation of grammatical and lexical foundations.
Mission
Home of Bears Mission and Vision
When the idea of creating my own English language school germinated in 2009, it was supposed to be a DIFFERENT educational place from the beginning. From the very beginning of our place, we were guided by the idea of working without violence. Translating the idea into specific actions contributed to the creation of what the Home of Bears English language school is today.
Home of Bears Mission and Vision
When the idea of creating our own English language school took shape in 2009, it was supposed to be a DIFFERENT educational place from the very beginning. From the very beginning, we were guided by the idea of working without violence. Translating ideas into specific actions contributed to the creation of what Home of Bears is today. And what is Home of Bears? It is an English language school - English Language Development, where we focus on HUMAN. We choose to see HUMAN. We choose to teach by creating a safe environment in which a mistake is accepted with acceptance, failure is seen as an opportunity, and enthusiasm and childish joy of learning and development are the driving fuel. Education at Home of Bears is a relationship built on strong foundations such as: trust, acceptance, communication in the language of needs, active listening and Mini-mediation using the SNO method. Thanks to these elements (and many others, resulting directly from them), a UNIQUE and EXCEPTIONAL place was created. To which we want to invite you and your child. Enter with us the world of language education, the main goal of which is the process. A process that will last, and the result of this process will be a constant desire to improve your skills and competences. At Home of Bear, we believe that a person develops best as a whole - that is, HOLISTICALLY. And this is the direction we follow and invite our children and young people to. During English classes at Home of Bears, our students develop linguistically (of course) at the same time, during classes we also take care of the competences: emotional, social and communicative. Yes! Such an educational place really exists! You have just found it. Stay and give your child the opportunity to experience living education, education where the other person is important and seen. Give your child a ticket to the world of English other than everything they have known so far and see how their skills will blossom. After all, children grow, not because they are pulled by the ends, but because they want to. A good gardener/garden girl knows that when a plant does not grow, it is not something wrong with it, but the environment that is unfavorable. We know that this principle also works in education. How do we know? Because we are responsible gardeners and gardeners.
🧭 Our Methodology – Education with Empathy and Dynamics
At Home of Bears, we believe that effective English learning is not only about mastering vocabulary and grammar, but above all about building relationships, developing empathy and creating a safe space for development. Our approach is based on four key “Energy” that permeate every aspect of our classes:
🔄 Dynamic English – Learning through Movement and Senses
Dynamic English is a method that engages children and young people in various activities, such as singing, movement, gesticulation, drawing and sensory play. Thanks to this, learning becomes natural and enjoyable, and information is absorbed multi-sensorily, which promotes the creation of lasting neural connections and better memory.
⚖️ Golden Division – Grammar in an Accessible Form
Golden Division is our proprietary method of introducing and consolidating the grammatical structures of the English language. Through visualizations and simple division of verbs, students understand and remember grammar rules more easily, which allows them to use the language freely and correctly in practice.
🤝 Social Technology – Development of Social Competencies
At Home of Bears we place great emphasis on developing social skills. Through group work, needs-based communication, and collaborative problem-solving, students learn empathy, collaboration, and relationship building. This approach helps them not only in learning the language, but also in their daily life.
💛 Teaching in Empathy – Education with Heart
Empathy is the foundation of our methodology. We believe that every child has the right to be heard and understood. Our mentors create an atmosphere of acceptance and safety in which students can freely express their emotions, which promotes effective learning and building positive educational experiences.
🧱 Home of Bears Foundations – Our Values
Our school is based on solid foundations that shape our approach to education:
-
Nonviolent Communication (NVC): Communication based on empathy and understanding.
-
Mini-mediation using the SNO method: Resolving conflicts through dialogue and searching for common solutions.
-
Self-regulation: Learning to recognize and manage your own emotions.
-
Error acceptance: Treating mistakes as a natural part of the learning process.
Thanks to these values, we create an environment in which children and young people can develop holistically – linguistically, emotionally and socially.
Join our community in Gliwice and Żory, where learning English becomes an adventure full of joy, empathy and mutual respect.
Word
from the owner/
originator/
change leaders
"I want a world that accepts diversity, welcomes otherness and is ready to engage in dialogue. Resources are unlimited – you just have to notice them and reach for them. Communication is at the heart of this change. Children and young people learn English for their own purposes and to realize their plans. While learning English, they can simultaneously live in a world filled with empathy, readiness to share (give and receive), a world where they are seen for what they contribute – the world of Home of Bears."

English Language Courses and MUCH more…
Home of Bears English Language Development offers English language courses for preschoolers (Pandas), children (Grizzly Cubs and Grizzly Youngsters) and teenagers (Polars). At the same time, our English language courses also include:
-relation -bond -security -acceptance
Our English courses (Pandas, Grizzly and Polars) are an educational DIFFERENCE, which involves inviting children and young people into the world of understanding. During the courses, children and young people learn through being in a relationship and mutual trust. Inner motivation flourishes, which contributes to the improvement of language skills and the desire to constantly improve them. Children and young people learn with us because they WANT to, not because they have to, or because they will get something for it.
Pandas Courses
Our classes for preschool children – from 3 to 6 years of age. During classes, children are immersed in English, and therefore learn it in a natural way. Additionally, classes are based on numerous repetitions of whole sentences using lexical and grammatical material. Remembering the children's need for movement, mentors program classes in such a way as to use this natural potential for educational purposes.
Grizzly Cubs Courses
These are our courses dedicated to children of younger school age (grades 1-3). During classes, children are invited to various activities – speaking, singing, writing, dancing, pasting, cutting, painting…etc. Thanks to such numerous activities, children learn the language in a holistic way.
