What Liceo does

Liceo is a private upper-secondary school (Niepubliczne Liceum Ogólnokształcące Liceo w Myślenicach) operated by Liceo Sp. z o.o. in Myślenice, Poland, serving approximately 60 students across small classes capped at 15 pupils each. Founded in August 2014 as Neo School and rebranded to Liceo in September 2022, the school delivers general secondary education with a pronounced emphasis on advanced English instruction (5 hours per week including Business English delivered via partnership with Businessy.pl), German language (2 hours per week), dedicated psychological support (20 hours per week), and international mobility under Erasmus+ accreditation covering 2024-2027. It ranked 2nd in Myślenice county for matura results in 2024, and reports that 100% of graduates proceed to higher education.

The school's core technology stack is built on Google Workspace for Education (Google Classroom, Google Calendar) — Liceo was among the first schools in Poland to deploy G Suite in May 2015 and was certified as a Google Innovative School in May 2023. Every student receives a Chromebook as part of tuition. The secondary product, Liceo Online, runs as a separate internet-based English language school operating nationally and internationally, offering individual (120 PLN/55-minute lesson) and duo-group (65 PLN/person/lesson) formats delivered via Google Workspace and the Miro collaborative platform, with AI-assisted level analysis for course personalization. The school also runs the Erasmus+ project 'Reading the Future' (Polish-Italian mobility, Mantua) and a Polish-German youth exchange ('Solidarity in Europe') for 2026.

Liceo's revenue model is anchored on recurring monthly tuition of 1,100 PLN per student, stable since founding and covering all core subjects, English and German instruction, Chromebook and software access, supplementary classes, psychological support, educational trips, and extracurriculars with no additional fees. The Liceo Online stream supplements tuition with subscription-style English instruction billed monthly based on attended sessions. GTM is sales-led and relationship-driven: open house events (Dzień Otwarty), structured multi-step recruitment meetings for the 2026/27 intake, word-of-mouth from current parents, and organic social media (Facebook, Instagram) — there is no indication of paid advertising. Recruitment is regional, drawing from Myślenice and surrounding towns within roughly 40 km, including Kraków.

• Cambridge International Education: Provider of international curricula (IGCSE, A Level, Cambridge International) used by schools worldwide. Comparable as a broader incumbent for English-medium international education, against which Liceo positions its Erasmus+ and Business English differentiation.
