Summary/Abstract: The Congregation of the Sisters of Saint Dominic, founded in 1861 in Wielowies, Galicia, by mother Kolumba Bialecka was part of the renewal movement in the Order of Preachers in the XIXth century. Mother Kolumba and her sisters, among different types of apostolate, taught in local school, which they founded just after their arrival to Wielowies. Mother Kolumba did not leave any written treatise on educational system, but she and her sisters, formed by domini- can spirituality, used educational methods, which can be categorized by the terms of thomistic concept of pedagogics – especially integral human growth focused on the development of mind, free will and body. In this article author restores those methods basing on the sources such as The Book of the Protocols from the Conferences of Teachers in School in Wielowies or The Chronicle of the School and by describing them by the traits specific to the thomistic pedagogics, places them among the dominican tradition of education.
