Church parking in Palos Heights, Illinois

The Herbert Polish School of Language and Culture, located at 12001 South Oak Park Avenue in Palos Heights, Illinois, was established in 2015 to meet the needs of the southwest suburbs of Chicago. Our curriculum, created by the Ministry of Education of the Republic of Poland, prepares students for the Polish language certification exam administered by the Polish Consulate. Our dedicated faculty focuses on language competence, effective communication, and understanding of Polish literature, history, culture, and art. In addition to language and culture classes, the school offers religious education in Polish, overseen by Fr. Ryszard (Richard) Groń, PhD, with sacraments celebrated at Sacred Heart Church in Palos Hills. With a focus on personalized teaching methods and a welcoming atmosphere, the Herbert School ensures that the student is always at the center. We are named after the renowned Polish writer Zbigniew Herbert, a member of the Home Army during World War II and a highly acclaimed post-war poet and essayist. Join us in celebrating the rich heritage of Polish language and culture at Herbert School. Contact us at (630) 863-2759 or visit our Facebook page @szkolaherberta for more information.
