Tadeusz Łopuszański – Creator and Director of the Rydzyna School

Abstract

Tadeusz Łopuszański (1874–1955) created the Rydzyna School to educate future intellectuals capable of creative, hard work for the benefit of the emerging state. He believed that future elites were responsible for the reconstruction of Poland and its success or failure. According to him, proper education could transform the character of a man and encourage them to devote their life to saving Poland. His concept of education was based on several solid foundations – the pillars of Rydzyna: developing individual interests, social work, manual work, extended physical activity and fighting against lies. Although the Rydzyna School (1928–1939) did not exist long, its graduates were active on many levels in the newly formed state after the war. The education of young people, who were able to find their place in the difficult post-war reality, was possible thanks to the proper organisation of school life, and this was mainly to the credit of its founder, Tadeusz Łopuszański.
