We started in 1993, in our first home on Studencka Street in Krakow, as a small group gathered around Jerzy Waligora &#8211; an enthusiast and visionary, the School founder and, for many years afterwards, its headteacher. Because we grew very quickly, in 1997 we moved to the townhouse at 45 Karmelicka Street, where we remain to this day. <\/p><p>Today VIII PALO is a large high school and an important one on the educational map of Krakow. We combine experience with openness to the future. We have an extensive IB programme, work closely with numerous academic and cultural institutions in Poland and abroad, rank very highly in national listings, and our students achieve outstanding educational results and go on to brilliant careers. <\/p><p>At VIII PALO we know exactly what responsibility means, which is why the young person remains at the centre of our attention &#8211; their potential, their all-round development, their preparation for the next stage of education and for life in general.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-250f04fe elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"250f04fe\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInUp&quot;,&quot;_animation_mobile&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;,&quot;_animation_delay&quot;:300}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The history of VIII PALO is our <strong>Vision<\/strong> put into practice:<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We take as the foundation of VIII Private Academic High School in Krakow our respect for the innate and inalienable human right to <strong>dignity<\/strong>, <strong>personal agency<\/strong> and <strong>freedom<\/strong>, inseparably bound up with <strong>responsibility<\/strong>.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The moral space in which the School acts is defined by universal values common to all humanity, such as <strong>truth<\/strong>, <strong>goodness<\/strong>, <strong>beauty<\/strong>, <strong>justice<\/strong> and <strong>solidarity<\/strong>, while relationships between people are built on <strong>honesty<\/strong>,<strong>kindness<\/strong> and <strong>trust<\/strong>.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The reason the School exists is the <strong>good<\/strong> of every person who attends it and care for their <strong>all-round and harmonious<\/strong> <strong>development<\/strong>, grounded in <strong>positive motivation<\/strong>.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Conscious of <strong>the dangers<\/strong> of the modern world and <strong>refusing to accept helplessness<\/strong> in the face of them, the School creates the conditions for forming a <strong>many-sided human being<\/strong>, ready to <strong>use the gift of freedom responsibly<\/strong>, <strong>open to the world<\/strong> <strong>and to dialogue<\/strong>, who understands what the <strong>common good<\/strong> is, is disposed to <strong>cooperation<\/strong>, is guided by <strong>respect<\/strong> for other people and their beliefs, is capable of <strong>solidarity<\/strong>, <strong>empathy<\/strong> and <strong>self-sacrifice<\/strong>, respects <strong>civil rights<\/strong>, the principles of <strong>democracy<\/strong> and <strong>the property of others<\/strong>, and wishes to <strong>go on learning throughout life<\/strong>.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The School inspires young people to ask <strong>fundamental questions<\/strong> &#8211;
