Abstract
This article presents the history of Divine Mercy College at Fawley Court, England, a secondary boarding school for boys founded in 1953 on the initiative of Rev. Józef Jarzębowski, which continued the tradition of schools established by Polish refugees and World War II veterans. The main idea of this establishment was to promote a sense of Polishness and Catholic values, while providing students with a solid education. Over its 32-year history, the school has educated more than a thousand pupils, and can boast distinguished alumni for the UK.
