BOLESLAWOWO, POLAND

Boleslawowo, Poland

The program in Boleslawowo is hosted by a regional high school.  It is located on a 900 acre estate.  The high school is a magnet school centering on agriculturally based programs and related areas.  Since it is a regional high school there are dormitories for students who attend from greater distances than day travel.  All Company Advisors and students attending the program are housed in these dormitories.  All meals are provided there as well.  There is no AC there so a small fan is suggested along with extra towels.”

Students attending this program have a variety of English speaking abilities and the program through this immersion experience greatly improves their abilities along with experiencing the business related activities that all Business Week programs provide.  Often times there are students attending from other countries: such as, Belarus, Georgia, and the Ukraine, providing a real international experience.

American students who are interested in attending Boleslawowo Business Week will pay for their $100 registration fee and plane ticket. In this program we have worked closely with our Polish counterparts to provide American students the opportunity to stay with a Polish host family for a week before the program commences, and 1-2 days after the program finishes (in total the student will be staying for approximately 14 days). American students will also travel back and forth from the program with an adult Company Advisor.
