Admission procedure and criteria for the admission of children to the VIA Primary School for the school year 2026/2027 for children who will be 6 years old by 31 August 2026.
Enrolment in the 1st class takes place in on 2, 3 and 4 February 2027 (8:00-17:00). If the number of interested persons exceeds the capacity of the dates, an additional date will be announced. Due to capacity reasons, there will be no Open Day for 2026/2027.
We would be delighted to offer you the opportunity to take a personalised tour of the school, during which you can get a feel for our environment, experience the school’s atmosphere and ask any questions you may have. To arrange a date, please contact the headteacher directly by email at: petr.hopfinger@viaberoun.cz
From 1 October 2026 (from 12:00) until 30 November 2026 (by 12:00) legal guardians may express an interest in the course by completing preliminary form for enrolment in the first year of primary school. This form is not binding and does not result in an invitation to enrol.
From 12 January 2027 (from 12:00) until 28 January 2027 (by 12:00) will already be made available to legal guardians a binding online application for admission to primary education,in which you must fill in all the compulsory information required for enrolment in the first year.
Registered children will be invited to a specific time. During the approximately 20-minute programme with the teachers, children will have the opportunity to test all their cognitive functions, which are essential for a successful start at school, through various games and tasks.
During the time the children spend with the teachers, parents meet with the school management and a representative of the founder. The aim of this conversation is to reconcile the shared expectations and visions of the parents and the school, as well as the suitability of the school curriculum for the child.
Parents will receive the result of the admission procedure in the form of a proposal for admission or a decision on non-admission within 10 working days of enrolment in their e-mail box indicated on the application form. At the same time, the list of admitted pupils will be placed (with the number codes of the children) on the school's website. The admission decision will be issued at the same time as the contract is signed, within 30 days of the enrolment. The decision on non-admission is sent in writing by post in the student's own hand.
In the event of a tie, the draw will decide.
If a place is not filled, or if a place subsequently becomes vacant, the parents whose child was placed next in line are contacted immediately with a proposal for admission.
For the 2027/2028 school year, the total capacity for Year 1 has been set at 18 pupils. We will be opening two Year 1 classes.
Please bring the following for enrollment:
If the child is not physically or mentally adequately mature and if the child's legal representative requests this in writing at the time of the enrolment deadline (15 January to 15 February 2026), the school principal will postpone the start of compulsory school attendance for one school year.
The application for deferment of school attendance must be supported by a recommendation from the relevant school counselling centre and a specialist doctor or clinical psychologist. The start of compulsory schooling may be postponed until the start of the school year in which the child reaches the age of eight.
Application for deferment of school attendance you can download here.
