The school
A small school with an unusually specific idea.
Windsor Academy teaches working professionals in Kraków and online. We are new, we are deliberately narrow, and we would rather tell you what we do not do than oversell what we do.
Why this exists
Kraków runs on English. The shared service centres, the software houses, the law firms and the finance teams all operate in it every day, and most of the people doing that work are operating in their second or third language at a level that is genuinely good.
What they are sold is general business English — a coursebook, a mixed-ability group, and a syllabus that would be identical in Lisbon or Manila. It is not that it fails. It is that it stops being useful somewhere around B2, exactly where the real problems start.
Windsor was built around the opposite assumption: that at B2 and C1 the thing holding you back is specific, professional and trainable, and that a course is only worth your evenings if it can name what that thing is on day one.

What we will tell you that others might not
If you are below B2, a general business English course will serve you better first, and we will say so rather than take the booking.
If you are a strong C1 already, there is often nothing here worth your money.
Most of the sixteen courses are still being written. The catalogue says which, and it is derived from what actually exists, not from what we hope will.
Why it holds together
We are new. So here is the thing you can actually check.
No testimonials, no client logos, no completion statistics — we have not been running long enough to have honest ones, and inventing them is how a school gets caught. What we can show you is how the courses are built.
- 30documents per course
- Teacher pack, teaching guide, answer key, field-task key, learner handouts, field tasks, slides, appendices, placement test and learner forms — compiled from one source, at each of the three lengths.
- 420vocabulary terms
- Each with a definition, a collocation, an authentic example sentence, and Polish, Ukrainian and Russian. A term without a collocation is treated as incomplete.
- 100%keyed and scripted
- Every exercise ships with its answers. Every listening ships with a full transcript. Every lesson ships with a runsheet a fluent non-specialist could teach from cold.
- 0teacher notes reaching learners
- An automated check derives its own tests from the source material and asserts that no teacher-only sentence survives into anything a learner sees. It runs before anything leaves the building.
