For us, leadership does not only mean the ability to lead others. Above all, it means the ability to lead yourself.
school philosophy

The three pillars of our philosophy

A safe space to grow

Real results grow only where students feel safe, accepted and respected. For four years, the school is a young person's second home.

Focused preparation for university

The maturita is an important goal, but not the only one. From the first year on, we build a path towards university studies at home and abroad.

Openness to languages

Studies include three foreign languages, an English-language branch and preparation for the international IB programme.

Our philosophy

The school as a safe space for growth

The foundation of our philosophy is the belief that a student can achieve genuine results only when they feel safe, accepted and respected at school. For a young person, the grammar school is a second home for four years. That is why we place exceptional emphasis on an atmosphere of trust, humanity, personal approach and mutual respect.

We want every student to know that they are welcome at school, that they have their place here, and that their journey matters to us. Only in an environment of calm, security and support can a young person focus their energy on education, personal development and gradually finding their own future.

The study path

Targeted preparation for the maturita exam and university

Preparation for the maturita exam does not begin in the fourth year. It is built deliberately from the very first year of study.

International direction

Language profile and international direction

Language education has long been part of the school's identity. Our students do not study only one foreign language; their studies include three foreign languages, which broaden their options for further study and professional careers.

The grammar school offers education in two programmes: a classic programme in Czech, and a programme with selected subjects taught in English. It is precisely the English-language branch that is becoming one of the main strategic directions for the school's further development. Our aim is to gradually strengthen English-language teaching, to prepare students for the possibility of sitting the maturita exam in English, and to further develop the international dimension of education, including preparation for implementing the IB programme.

University environment

Connecting the school with the university environment

We consider it an important part of quality grammar school education to connect the school with the university environment, with practising experts and with inspiring personalities. Meeting interesting people as part of lessons, specialist seminars, projects and subject-related activities helps students better understand the purpose of their studies and discover their own professional direction.

We believe that choosing the right future profession does not happen by chance. It is the result of long-term work, support, conversations, experience and good-quality preparation. That is why we want to show students not only the curriculum, but also the world they will enter after the maturita exam.

Leadership

Developing leadership and responsibility

Part of our philosophy is also the deliberate development of leadership, personal responsibility and management skills in our students. We believe that quality grammar school education should not lead only to good grades and a successful maturita exam, but also to a young person being able to communicate, cooperate, formulate their own opinion, make decisions and take responsibility for them.

This is precisely why we support the active work of the student council, which we see as an important space for developing civic maturity, initiative and the ability to participate in the life of the school. Here, students learn not only to express their needs and proposals, but also to understand the wider context of how the school community functions, to seek solutions, to discuss matters with the school's management, and to turn their ideas into concrete steps.

Being reliable, cultivated, active, responsible and ready to cooperate — we want our students to gradually gain the skills they will need not only at university, but also in their professional and social lives: the ability to argue, listen, organise, make decisions and find a way forward even in situations that are not simple.

The student council is therefore one of the tools through which we give students trust while also guiding them towards responsibility. The school is not merely a place where students receive information. It is also an environment where they learn to actively help shape the community of which they are a part.

The graduate

A graduate as the result of joint effort

The success of our graduates in admissions to Czech and foreign universities is proof to us that the direction the school has taken makes sense. A graduate of our grammar school should be educated, skilled in languages, cultivated, independent and ready to take responsibility for their decisions.

We want them to be not only a successful applicant for university study, but also a young person who can think in context, communicate with respect, cooperate with others and, where needed, naturally take on the role of leader.

After twenty years of the school's existence, our main idea remains the same: to be a grammar school that combines quality education, openness to languages, university ambitions, the development of personal responsibility and a warm, human atmosphere — a school to which students can return with the feeling that they were accepted, supported and well prepared for the rest of their lives.

Our philosophy rests on combining rigour with support. We ask a lot of our students in terms of results, but at the same time we provide an environment in which they can grow. We guide them towards achievement, but we do not forget the person behind it. We prepare them for the maturita exam, but above all we think of their future.
