iSchool is a private British school operating in Olomouc

Since most of our pupils aim to continue studying at Czech schools after leaving ISO, the subjects based on the Czech curriculum present a crucial part of the timetable. At the primary level it is Czech language and literature lessons as well as ‘vlastivěda´ (Czech history and geography) followed by more subjects at the secondary level.

So what exactly is taught at the secondary stage? First and foremost come Czech grammar, literature and composition.  We mainly strive to develop the students´ ability to work with texts (their own ones as well as those written by others). In ´9. třída´ , which comes after  British Year 9, two extra Czech classes are added to the usual ones. In these the pupils undergo intensive preparation for the admittance process to go into secondary school.

Since the start of this academic year the ISO secondary timetable has also included Mathematics lessons in Czech. The purpose of this is for the pupils to experience how Mathematics and Geometry are taught in Czech schools. The focus is on learning the terminology and getting used to the wording of tasks in the subject. In the above mentioned ´9.třída´ there are two more lessons conceived as entrance exams preparation.

The last subject that has not been mentioned yet is Czech Social Studies (CzSSt). The children learn about topics connected to the geography and history of this country but also they develop their ability to work with information in Czech.

Apart from the subjects in Czech there are many interesting ones in English  introduced at the secondary level. We believe that the diversity of the education on offer in ISO is beneficial to the needs of our students.

Why should your child attend iSchool?

They will gain perfect knowledge of English.

Your child will become a global citizen with wide understanding of local and international topics.

We put a strong emphasis on the development on subject specific skills rather than on acquisition of knowledge.

Emphasis on skills development (not just memorising).

Individual approach; school’s ability to motivate for improvement.

Your child will be excited to come to school.

School philosophy

You are not buying success, you are paying for the school to monitor your child’s progress to their goals and motivate them to fulfil their potential.

We are not a selective school: we believe that everybody can be successful.
