Four-year Gymnasium, which offers a well-thought-out bilingual education program

How to become a student

To be admitted to our Gymnasium, you must pass a single „state“ entrance exam in Czech language and mathematics, with a minimum score of 45 points. The school part of the entrance exam consists of a written test in English and an oral interview to verify motivation to study.

The school is likely to offer 15 places in the second round. You can already meet us, see the school or have a “test day” in our classrooms.

For more information on the 1st round of admissions continue HERE.

Curriculum 1st and 2nd year

In the first two years of study, students meet the expected outcomes of the national curriculum. At the same time, in subjects taught in English, they work with the structure, textbooks and materials of the IB Middle Years Programme, which is designed for international schools. In this way they gradually acquire the attitudes and skills needed to work in an international environment.

The curriculum of each subject offers the possibility of individualisation while developing general skills and literacy.

More than a third of the teaching is in English, or selected subjects combine teaching in English and Czech (aesthetic education, geography, biology, history...). The emphasis on excellent English language acquisition focuses on the shift from basic communication to the use of the language at the level of a native speaker. The curriculum is complemented by the offer of one of two other languages - Spanish or German. At the end of this cycle, we verify that all students have achieved the set goals in key areas.

Curriculum 3rd and 4th year

The curriculum offers a significant choice of focus. The aim is to prepare for study at good domestic and international universities.

Students aim for a combination of the Czech and International Baccalaureate (IB Diploma Programme), which is the recommended course of study. However, they can also take only the Czech Baccalaureate. The design of the international programme is externally determined - students choose the subjects they will study, and the assessment of their work is done outside the school. The programme is complemented by a volunteering or university counselling programme.

The form of the Czech baccalaureate will be similar to the international one, i.e. it will take the form of a comprehensive test of knowledge and skills, rather than pulling out a slip of paper with a number on it.

The tuition fee for students entering in September 2026 is set at CZK 190,000 per year for the entire period of study. The amount can only change based on inflation.

The founder (Tipsport Foundation) can be asked for social scholarships, which provides approximately one fifth of our students.

This year we are offering exceptional academic scholarships. The top achievers of the entrance exam have the opportunity to study with a discount of 80 % on tuition fees.

In Beroun we have created a bilingual progressive education system for children from 3 to 19 years old, from kindergarten to the International Baccalaureate. We are a school for the success (i.e. the development of potential) of every pupil and student. In September 2025, we opened a new campus in downtown Beroun.

Gymnasium environment

The gymnasium building itself (Triangle) offers three floors for students to study on. The first floor is dominated by a cafeteria and a mixzone - a place for informal gatherings and relaxation.

The second floor is reserved for first and second year students. In addition to the stem and language classrooms, there is also a library, a computer room and a study room.

The third floor is for third and fourth year students. There are also laboratories or a theatre hall.

On both floors, classrooms are located around the perimeter of the building, while the central area is designed as a gathering space for students.

Gymnasium students also use the facilities of the main campus - especially the sports field and the canteen.

Pastoral care

The important things happen in school not only in the classroom, but also in between.

The Pastoral Care system generally focuses on cultivating an environment that supports the physical, social, intellectual, emotional, and spiritual development of each student. It aims to create a safe and stimulating environment and takes an active interest in the well-being of each student. It emphasizes the prevention of potential difficulties and the early identification of problems so that the necessary support can be provided.

Specifically, it participates in the preparation of the programme of adaptation and residential trips, the CAS programme (volunteering programme in the last two years of studies), is available to students in more exposed periods (transition from primary school, exam period), implements workshops and activities aimed at the personal development of students.

In connection with the academic field, it forms a coherent shape in the sense of holistic education. The Pastoral Care team includes class teachers, a school psychologist or a university counsellor.

Extracurricular activities

The school offers a varied programme of events and trips outside school, usually two weeks a year. These activities include both individual students' choices (for example, project schools in the countryside in June) and curriculum development events such as skiing, paddling or survival courses. A number of off-site events are then linked to the volunteering programme or student internships.

The Gymnasium operates in six-week cycles, five weeks of learning ”according to the timetable", in the sixth/connecting week we have trips or various workshops.
