Silesian School of Iconography (pl. Śląska Szkoła Ikonograficzna, fr. École Iconographique de Silésie, chin. 西里西亞聖像畫學 Xilǐxiyà shèngxiànghuà xué, abbreviation: SSI) is a Public Association of the Christian Faithful in the Roman Catholic Church in Poland, erected by the Bishop of Gliwice. It includes people who write (paint) icons, theologians of icons, and creators of sacred art, both clergy and laity. The Silesian School of Iconography consists of 18 faculties operating within the dioceses of Gliwice, Opole, and Katowice. The school conducts regular classes, holiday workshops, and spiritual and artistic formation. It works closely with the Faculty of Theology at the University of Opole and with similar institutions dedicated to iconography and sacred art in Poland. The structure of the Silesian School of Iconography, as described in its Statute and Constitutions, is based on medieval university models and monastic communities.

History
The Silesian School of Iconography was founded in 2000 in response to the great interest in icons in Europe, the revival of reflection on sacred art, and the need for the Church to support iconographers. The founders of the School are Fr. Dariusz Klejnowski-Różycki (a student of Fr. Dr. Egon Sendler SJ, theologian, iconographer, pianist, sinologist) and his mother Janina Różycka-Klejnowska (iconographer, journalist).

The SSI has operated under three different statutes throughout its history, which have radically changed its structure (2001 – Wellington Statute; 2017 – Hong Kong Statute; 2020 – Avarua Statute), expanding its activities. It has educated approximately 3,000 students at various levels.
