Studying at Our School
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.

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 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.
We help students develop their technological skills while emphasizing digital etiquette and balance — teaching them to maintain a healthy relationship between the virtual and real worlds.
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.
SCIENCE 360 helps students view natural sciences in a broader context and develops skills essential for success in further studies and professional careers.
