Technology is used at TBS Warsaw as a tool for learning. If you are wondering whether that means equipping your child with a tablet or laptop, here's an answer:

  • Early Years (There's no need to buy a device - on this stage, we limit our pupils' exposure to technology)
  • Primary School (There's no need to buy a device - our Primary classes are equipped with the necessary devices)
  • Secondary (Students should bring their own device)

 

DEVICE RECOMMENDATIONS:

  • Operating system: Windows 11, Android 13, iPadOS 16, MacOS
  • Battery Life: 8 hours or more
  • Connectivity: Bluetooth, HDMI, USB-C

For students who already have a device, there is no requirement to purchase the recommended device.

 

LIMITING SCREENTIME

Our school is a part of the Yondr Phone-Free Schools Programme. It means that upon arrival, each student places all their electronic devices in the designated pouch and locks it in front of the teacher. At the end of the day, students unlock their pouches at designated stations. This way, with the help of the staff, students can access their phones, if necessary, without risking distraction during classes.

How do Houses influence my child's life at school?

The Houses are designed to allow new students a quicker adaptation into our community, drive motivation for learning and teach them healthy competition. The Houses system is driven by collecting points. Students earn points during sport events, competitions, class achievements and completing extra homework. At the end of each term, students celebrate the House that collected the most points.
