The second level offers an alternative to the eight-year grammar school and can work with children of different talents

How to become a disciple

The middle school transfer exams consist of mathematics, Czech language, English language and a group-dynamic part led by a school psychologist in one block. 

The aim of the knowledge tests is to check the starting level of the pupils. The dynamic part of the meeting gives us the opportunity to have a more spontaneous and different contact with the candidates from the previous tests. 

It is important for us to get to know the students and parents. Another part of „offence“ is therefore a meeting between parents and school management, whilemco pupils speak individually with school psychologist Jana Soukupová at the same time.

(Extra)School activities

The school offers a varied programme of events and trips outside school, usually two weeks a year.

These activities will be partly the choice of individual pupils (for example, the project school in June) and partly given and designed to develop the school curriculum (for example, a skiing or boating course).

A number of events outside the school will be linked to the volunteering programme.

The role of the teacher

The concept of the role of the teacher is something that distinguishes VIA from traditional Czech schools. Teachers are not primarily expected to impart ready-made knowledge to children. At the same time, we do not see them as mere guides who merely accompany the child on his or her journey of learning.

We see the role of the teacher as active in creating a stimulating environment where every child can learn fully and with joy.

Pupils benefit from the unified approach of teachers who bring a clear structure or a coherent system of progressive development of skills and literacy to lessons.

By working with clearly described outcomes and criteria for their assessment, the VIA teacher helps pupils to evaluate for themselves what and how they are doing and what they need to move forward in their education.

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) provides social scholarships, which make the school more widely accessible.

No, pupils are not required to wear any school uniform. However, tuition does include 2 polo shirts with the school logo that students can wear at official events.

Yes, the school cafeteria offers quality lunches and snacks.

The earlier children start school, the easier it is for them to learn English. With enough motivation and the individual support we will offer, it will be possible to participate fully in school in the upper grades.

English language is taught by experienced native speakers. In addition to Czech, English is the language of communication for the entire school, and is represented in approximately half of the lessons. Pupils will learn the language as if they were attending an international school, and the development of Czech language, traditions and culture is of course also emphasised. We are able to work with different entry levels of English, offering a stimulating curriculum for native speakers and beginners alike.

Yes, the teaching in the entire VIA system is designed to align the bilingual curriculum with the Czech framework curriculum for primary schools.
