The article contains a reflection flowing from the experience of working at a Salesian school. There are around 70 such schools in Poland that fulfil educational duties to the country and carry the mission of evangelization for the Church. They vary very much from each other due to the conditions listed in the first part. They have many advantages, among which particularly valuable are the charismatic heritage of the Preventive System, high education level, safety, and family spirit. There are also difficulties to deal with every day. There are great educational and pastoral challenges that the Salesian schools in Poland have to face. The criterion for assessing those schools from the point of view of the faithfulness to the idea of Don Bosco is the first Oratory at Valdocco, that was a home, parish, school, and playground for the young.
