You might also include:
The British Council (very good)
Mike Mills' School (very good)
Resource (very good)
ACT (very good)
Metropilitan College (good)
Discordia (fairly good)
Lang LTC (fairly good)
Language for Business (sometines ok, sometimes not)
Target (not so good)
Teller (good in parts - is it still going?)
Warsaw Study Centre (not so good)
Native Speaker Agency (not at all good)
Didier School (the less said the better)

These are just suggestions from colleagues (at a school NOT on the above list - you mentioned it already) based on our own experiences.
The 'rankings' are obviously subjective (like the infamous Newsweek Rankings), but based on actual and direct experience (unlike Newsweek).

Any others?

Thanks...

Don't suppose anyone could rate a few more of the schools, preferably at the good end? I'm planning on moving to Warsaw soon, and would like to get working somewhere good without losing too much money whilst looking.

I have a degree and CELTA, but no experience.

Also, is it easy to find a place to live at a reasonable price for just a few months? I may have to come back for the summer.

Why Warsaw?

Why Warsaw?

Possibly the 50% higher income and much wider range of employment opportunities. "Crakow" may have its factors, but it's not the exclusively attractive place in Poland

Yeah, I get the impression there are more jobs available there, which I figured becomes more significant if you come half-way through the academic year. Plus I can cry home to mommy for 181zloty if it's not nice.

while in america, camp america, new york state long island centre moriches which im sure u know two poles i amde freinds with 1 called boris the other prezemek asked why Britain neevr helped Poland. Put me on the spot there but thats simply because we couldnt. Dunkirk rings a bell. Anyway us brits were fighting in North Africa, UK battle of Britain anyway. When the yanks joined in, no offenc ehere, but the british army already had the jerries running out of Africa and USA basically came late n secured victory thouigh was to come anywya due to brits.

To be honest though Russia deserves a whole laod of credit as they lsot msot men by FAR.

Though what if Britain the battle of Britian and got invaded?
