Juliusz Slowacki Polish Grammar School in Orlowa was established before 1st World War in The Cieszyn Princedom by The First School´s Society in Cracow and The Cieszyn Princedom´s Scool Foundation. Juliusz Slowacki, a Polish poet, became a benefactor of the school because of an anniversary of his birth. Since its beginning, the school was a very important institution for the youth and all local Polish society.

The school´s development was broken by the start of 1st World War. Fortunatelly, the teaching was restored at the beginning of 1915, thanks to a new headmaster.

In 1924, the school received "the public right" from The Education Ministry.

That entitled students to take school-leaving exams and get high-school graduate´s

certificate.

In 1962, the school´s seat moved from Orlowa-Obroki to Orlowa-Lazy, what broke the tradition, continued since 1910. There were still less students: Orlowa´s location became unattractive because of deficient traffic connection. Many students went rather to another grammar school in Czeski Cieszyn.

Orlowa´s school joined the Czeski Cieszyn´s one in 1964 and became its branch.Damages caused by mining made our school move again. This time we moved to Karwina, a town with two Polish primary schools. Since 1993, Karwina is so far the last seat of Juliusz Slowacki Grammar School.
