campus concept
Campus Bemke in Wadowice spans 32 hectares designed as a coherent environment for education and an engaged community. It is made up of a network of interconnected spaces — from the historic Collegium Marianum building and the modern Educational Village to open grounds, a park and spaces where students work every day.
This is a deliberate choice. Instead of the city — peace, greenery and mountain views.
Such conditions make it easier to focus, build deep relationships and mature. We combine the tradition of this place with a modern approach to education and an engaged community.

01
Collegium Marianum
The historic Collegium Marianum building is especially meaningful to us: it marks the beginning of the campus’s educational story. More than 100 years ago, it housed a secondary school with boarding facilities that combined a solid education, character formation and community life.
Today it serves as a teaching and boarding space, as well as a venue for activities that develop passions and for sports.

Educational Village
The Educational Village is the first completed element in the campus infrastructure expansion plan. It shows what our approach to education looks like in practice.
Instead of a single building, a group of interconnected structures was created, forming a coherent whole. Their layout draws on the idea of a small community — a place where learning, relationships and everyday experiences naturally intertwine. The space was designed to support focus, collaboration, activity and rest. The courtyard connects the buildings into one whole, creating a natural centre of student life.

Preschool
A space designed with the youngest children in mind — with its own garden and educational farm. Children have daily contact with animals (goats, rabbits and chickens) and work in the so-called “messy workshop”, developing independence, creativity and a sense of agency.
Opened in 2014.

Other spaces
FarmLab — a place for working with nature: growing plants, caring for animals and experiencing the tangible results of one’s own work. These green education spaces include a garden and greenhouse.
The park, orchard and pocket forest form an ecosystem that supports regeneration, integration and environmental education.
Sports infrastructure includes a temporary sports hall (“dome”) and outdoor playing fields. More than 400 hours of sports activities take place here every month.
