We are a secondary school (10th – 13th grade), we are rooted in the Waldorf Educational System and we follow up the Waldorf elementary school programme (1st – 9th grade). However, we accept students from any kind of basic school. Our classes usually contain 40-50% Waldorf basic school alumni. Students finish with the state maturita exam.

We are a state school and we are established by the City of Prague, no tuition fee is required.

We are one of the best schools in Prague by the number of applicants and by the student results.

Studies

Our programme is based on a broad general knowledge basis together with professional and art courses, trainings and language exchange programmes.
We offer a general education with a nature science or humanistic specialization at 3rd of 4th grade which allows the student to pursue his focus.
The main subjects are taught in concentrated educational morning blocks called epocha. It is a continuous two hours block held every morning for 3 – 4 weeks dealing with one subject. We aim to focus and extend the presented knowledge and deepen the experience with the subject.
Regarding our final student reports – there will be a lot of reading involved because we use oral evaluation. On the other hand, you will not read a lot of text books. We prefer other sources of information.

Specialization

Humanistic – focusing on Education, Psychology, Social Work and Communication
Nature science – focusing on Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry and Physics
