Serving Gdańsk, Sopot and Gdynia

Kevin D'Arcy

It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to the British International School Gdańsk (BISG). I trust that this website gives you an insight into what we offer the international and local community in Gdańsk and the surrounding area. We opened our school in September 2007. Since then we have already included teachers, parents and students from the U.S.A., Holland, Lithuania, Latvia, Norway, Romania, Germany, Italy, Columbia, Denmark, Australia, England, India, Japan and of course, Poland. For prospective parents, pupils or teachers, please contact us, or visit us and we would be delighted to show you our dynamic and developing school.

Kevin D'Arcy

School Director, Teacher of Physics and Mathematics

My teaching career started in Australia. I worked in various schools around Sydney as a Mathematics and Physics teacher, and in the Universities of Wollongong and New South Wales (UNSW). At the University of Wollongong, I taught across a range of subjects and lectured in logic and Greek philosophy.

Since leaving Australia in 2000 I have been living in Europe. For three years I taught in Dublin, my Irish father’s home city. Since then I have been living in Poland, where I taught Mathematics for two years at The British School, Warsaw. I then moved to Wroclaw to join a team to start up a new British International School Wrocław, where I was the Foundational Head of Secondary School. Following the overwhelming success of this school and identifying the need of a quality British international school in Gdansk, I decided to open a new school, here in the beautiful Polish seaside tri-city.

I have a broad range of interests. I am as interested in the arts, especially philosophy, as I am in the mathematical sciences. When it comes to sport, I would rather participate than spectate. I enjoy squash and cycling, and long walks along the beach and in the woods around Sopot. I always like trying out something new. For example, in the past few years I have taken up choir singing and was a member of the Warsaw Chamber Choir. I have also recently been involved in public speaking with Toastmasters Polska.
