The Lauder - Morasha Schools

What The Lauder - Morasha Schools does

The Lauder - Morasha Schools (Zespół Szkół Lauder-Morasha) is a private Jewish-heritage educational complex in Warsaw, Poland, operated under the corporate entity Makor sp. z o.o. and affiliated with the Ronald S. Lauder Foundation's network of approximately 11 European schools. Founded in 1994, the institution spans day care (Dubiś, 18 months–3 years), kindergarten (3–6 years using a Reggio Emilia-inspired approach), and primary school (Prywatna Szkoła Podstawowa nr 94, grades 1–8 with multilingual instruction in Hebrew, English, and Spanish/French), with an affiliated high school (Liceum im. Zuzanny Ginczanki) extending the K–12 vertical. The school operates under a licensed Polish MEiN curriculum and integrates Jewish cultural education with an inclusive, pluralistic ethos.

The school differentiates on a proprietary 5K competency framework (komunikacja, kooperacja, krytyczne myślenie, kreatywność, koegzystencja), small class sizes capped at 10–20 students, and a substantial in-house Zespół Terapii of 10 specialists (psychologists, therapeutic teachers, speech therapists). Technology is limited to standard SaaS (Microsoft Forms, Librus e-dziennik, Google Docs, social media); there is no proprietary software or AI capability. Recruitment runs direct-to-consumer through open days, social channels, and a multi-stage admissions funnel (online questionnaire, director interview, child workshop, contract).

Revenue is generated via monthly tuition fees billed across an 11-month academic year (2,000 PLN for Dubiś day care, 2,100 PLN for primary school, with alumni reductions to 300–500 PLN/month and sibling discounts of 5–7%), supplemented by foundation subsidies from Fundacja Ledor Wador (partner since 2015) and JDC-supported refugee programs. The customer base consists of Warsaw-area families seeking premium, culturally-rooted multilingual education, including a niche segment of Ukrainian refugee families.
