Education System

Gymnasium VICTORIA HIGH SCHOOL emphasizes connecting theory with practice and developing critical thinking. Teaching is based on modern methods and interdisciplinary links that help students see subjects in a broader context.

We place great emphasis on languages — particularly English, which is taught by native speakers. Students can also choose an additional foreign language to further develop their linguistic skills.

For students with more demanding schedules, we offer an Individual Study Plan. An individual approach and regular progress monitoring are a given, as is the use of modern technology in teaching.

Studying at our school ensures that every student can achieve their goals and dreams, regardless of extracurricular commitments or time constraints.

Full-Time Study

The full-time form of study is intended for students who wish to continue their studies at domestic or foreign universities.

Includes intensive language learning

and project-based education, emphasizing the link between theory and practice. We regularly offer seminars in fields such as business, sports, or art, helping students make informed career decisions.

Individual Study Plan

An individual study plan is suitable for students who want to develop their talents but need greater flexibility due to their busy schedules, such as athletes or artists.

The individual study plan is created in collaboration

with the student and their parents. Even with flexible study arrangements, we guarantee the fulfillment of all educational requirements and the highest quality of instruction.
The more

The more languages you speak

the more lives you lead →

At our school we place strong emphasis on language education. Besides English, we also offer Spanish and German. Our students can thus expand their linguistic skills with additional world languages, opening new opportunities both in academia and in their future careers.

They gain a solid foundation for international language exams.

English Language Education

The English language and its instruction are a key pillar of our educational system.

English is not only a separate subject but also a natural part of many other activities, projects, and subjects. The main advantage of our school is a team of native speakers, who teach not only language lessons but are also actively involved in other subjects and extracurricular activities.

Students have the opportunity to prepare for internationally recognized Cambridge examinations directly at our school.

German Language Education

Experienced lecturers emphasize practical language use in everyday and academic situations.

Students learn not only grammar and vocabulary but also how to communicate fluently and develop conversational confidence.Thanks to our individual approach and modern teaching methods, each student can focus on their personal needs and goals.

Spanish Language Education

Students are taught by native speakers who introduce them not only to the language but also to the culture and traditions of Spanish-speaking countries. This enables our students to communicate effortlessly abroad — whether during studies, travel, or work.

Technology

Technology Is the Future

and We Know It →

At our school modern technology is an essential part of education. Our classrooms are equipped with computers, giving students easy access to information and enabling them to work effectively in the digital world.

Interactive teaching materials, online platforms, and digital tools foster creativity, critical thinking, and practical skills. The curriculum also includes programming, data management, and cybersecurity, preparing students for the future.

SCIENCE 360 Program

at Our School

The SCIENCE 360 educational program integrates biology, chemistry, physics, and mathematics. Monthly and semi-annual project-based lessons connect topics from these disciplines, creating a coherent, practical, and logical understanding with real-world applications. To achieve this goal, we use the Labster simulation platform, for which we hold an exclusive license as the only school in the Czech Republic.
