Summary/Abstract: This article is an attempt of a synthetic outline of the rural schools with Polish as the language of instruction in the Kashubian language area of the Słupsk Synod in the context of the conditions and main directions of the development of rural elementary education with German as the language of instruction in West Pomerania in the period from the Reformation to the Seven Years’ War. The elementary education of the Kashubian ethnic and linguistic minority was defined by many specific traits, among which the most significant one was the language of instruction. In addition, the paper touches on the pietism-inspired attempts at an intellectual revival, which included elementary education, in the first half of the 18th century.
