My concern is that he does not speak any Polish and he won't understand classes. He will get lost. Do Polish public schools offer special classes for kids like him.
No. Your child, in the public schooling system, will be left to either sink or swim. There's no money to provide special classes for such children - it's your obligation to get him 'up to standard'. The schools won't help - after all, how can they, when there's 30 other kids to deal with? In fact, it gets worse - right now, the attitude in Poland is that if a child doesn't speak Polish, there's something wrong with him - and they may attempt to place him in a special school for 'disabled' children. The Roma have got terrible problems with this at the minute - and it may happen to your child, too.
He probably won't fail (generally speaking, teachers will just give a pass grade and ignore him) - but it's hardly satisfactory education.
If you can't afford to put him into private schooling, then you should have done a better job of teaching him Polish.
