Their Mission: "The Polish Language Center of Ann Arbor was founded in 2011 by parents whose dream was for their children to learn Polish. Our primary aim is the study of the Polish language, the history and geography of Poland, and the transmission of Polish traditions and culture. We admit children from age 3 and up, and offer various levels of instruction according to age and linguistic proficiency. We also teach adult learners. The School is independently run and supported by parents."

Our philosophy is based on the belief that every child is a wonderful gift from God, made in his image and likeness, and they are filled with dignity, goodness, and an incredible potential for discovery, learning, and growth. We believe in providing age appropriate activities for the children that will develop and enhance their natural curiosity and imagination. We also believe parents are the primary teachers of their preschool children and they are entrusting their children to our loving care. Accordingly, the family is an integral part of our program and their participation is an essential element to the success of our program.
