What Szkoły Gortata - ŁDZ | KRK | POZ | GDA does

Szkoły Marcina Gortata, operating under MG13 sp. z o. o., is a Polish private network of Sports Championship Schools (Szkoły Mistrzostwa Sportowego) that combines the standard national primary and secondary curriculum with 16 hours per week of professional sports training across disciplines including basketball, volleyball, football, rugby, badminton, swimming, judo, figure skating, fencing, wrestling, dance, and athletics. Founded by former NBA center Marcin Gortat, the network operates across four Polish cities — Łódź (two campuses: Siemiradzkiego and Minerska), Kraków (Os. Kościuszkowskie), Poznań, and Gdańsk (high school only) — enrolling roughly 500+ students in Łódź, 300+ in Kraków, and 140 in Gdańsk, with class sizes capped at 24 students. The schools recruit outside Poland's national electronic admission system via open days, sports fitness tests, education fairs, and direct consultation, drawing primarily from partner sports clubs (ŁKS, Hutnik, AZS, Trefl Gdańsk, Wieczysta Kraków, Ad Astra, ACPA) and an internal UKS Gortat youth club.

The core products are Szkoła Podstawowa (primary school, grades I–VIII) and Liceum Ogólnokształcące (high school, grades I–IV), supplemented by specialty offerings such as the AdAstra dance program in partnership with ACPA International and KS Ad Astra, additional basketball training conducted by former national team players, and an environmental monitoring laboratory funded by a WFOŚiGW grant. Pedagogical, psychological, and transport support are bundled into the offering, along with US college athletic scholarship preparation and 100% reported matura pass rates. There is no proprietary technology platform; the third-party Librus electronic gradebook is the principal digital tool.

The business model is direct-to-consumer tuition and ancillary fees billed primarily monthly or annually. Tuition varies by location and grade — from free (Poznań) to 500 PLN/month (Łódź Minerska Class 1 SP), with administrative fees of 200–300 PLN/year at select locations. Canteen meal plans (240–314 PLN/month) and a one-time 150 PLN dance recruitment fee provide supplementary recurring and transactional revenue. Marketing is community-led and event-driven, relying on Facebook pages per location, the school website, open days, sports trials, education fairs, and partner-club referrals.
