Graduate profile | Private IB High School Prague

How can we prepare students in the 21st century for situations that they will one day face in their lives and at work? We recognise that children will not thrive in the future with 'mere' knowledge. We base our teaching principles on collaboration, creativity, communication and critical thinking.

We encourage responsibility, student self-motivation and the development of strengths through free choice. We encourage students to discover what they enjoy in life and to learn from their mistakes.
