The Maple Bear Primary School will enhance the educational offerings of The Park Kraków complex. The new facility, occupying nearly 400 sqm on the ground floor of building B2, right next to the already operating preschool of the same Canadian network, will open in September of this year. The school will start with a first-grade class and will grow together with the children year after year.

The Canadian educational network Maple Bear has been operating in Poland since 2023. The Maple Bear Kraków Preschool, opened in September 2024, is the third facility of this largest global educational network, which was founded 20 years ago in Canada. The opening of the Maple Bear Primary School is a natural step in the development of the institution, which has been functioning as a preschool in The Park Kraków complex since September 2024.

“After the first six months of operation, we can confidently say that the educational offer of the Maple Bear Kraków preschool has received very positive feedback. Parents have appreciated our educational program, which is based on the Polish-Canadian curriculum and a full language immersion method. The decision to open a primary school in The Park Kraków complex is the next step in developing our teaching methodology in Poland,” says Marta Pszczoła, Director of Maple Bear Kraków School and Preschool.

The Maple Bear Primary School in The Park Kraków complex will cover an area of nearly 400 sqm on the ground floor of building B2, adjacent to the preschool under the same brand. In total, the tenant will operate across more than 1,000 sqm. “Our preschool, and soon our school, has been designed with the comprehensive development of children in mind. The interiors and the layout of the garden adhere to Maple Bear’s global standards,” emphasizes Marta Pszczoła. Children will have access to modern classrooms, spacious playgrounds, their own garden, and educational materials developed by trainers from the Canadian Academic Council. Maple Bear Kraków also implements the Polish national curriculum and operates in accordance with Polish educational law.

Maple Bear’s decision to expand and open a primary school in The Park Kraków is the best proof that our project offers not only an attractive office space but also well-thought-out solutions that support the activities of service-oriented tenants and their clients. We have created a place that fosters user comfort—from a unique pedestrian-friendly interior space filled with greenery to infrastructure that facilitates daily operations within The Park Kraków complex, including a convenient parking system and guest parking spaces. We are pleased that Maple Bear is continuing its mission at The Park Kraków, and the 80% commercialization rate of buildings B1 and B2 confirms the strong interest in this project,” says Katarzyna Zebura, Senior Leasing Manager at White Star Real Estate.

The Park Kraków, located in the rapidly developing Podgórze district, is a modern office and service complex offering a wide range of amenities for tenants and the local community. The integration of the Maple Bear school into this ecosystem perfectly aligns with the concept of the 15-minute city, which aims to provide access to key services near workplaces and residences. With the opening of the Maple Bear Primary School, parents working at The Park Kraków will be able to continue their children’s education in one location, significantly improving their daily convenience. Meanwhile, Podgórze residents will gain a new school facility offering a high level of education,” highlights Bartosz Prytuła, Managing Partner at White Star Real Estate.

Enrollment for the 2025/2026 school year is now open for preschool (ages 3-6, Junior, Senior, and kindergarten groups) and primary school (first grade). The Maple Bear Primary School will begin operations in September 2025.
