International path · Admissions
Admissions to schools that award an international diploma
In the Czech Republic, several routes lead to an international diploma, and each has its own admissions. Some schools admit children through the Czech unified entrance exam (Cermat), others run their own process in English, and at some schools it is a combination of both. We help you choose the route that suits your child and prepare them for the admissions that come with it.

Diagnostics
First we find out where your child stands
Without diagnostics, preparation is guesswork. We offer two paths, depending on what you need to find out. Both give you something concrete to act on.
Choose a school by data, not by hearsay
For entrance exams to four-year and multi-year gymnázia. For each school you see how many points admission took, how many children applied and what chance your child has. A Cermat test then shows where your child stands today. All on a phone in one afternoon. The app covers the unified Cermat exam. Schools in the Czech register must run it by law and it counts for at least 60 % of the result.
- 1Choose the programme: four-year, six-year or eight-year.
- 2Go through schools: points for admission, applicants, chances and the inspection report.
- 3Send your child a test: whenever you like. Cermat tasks on the phone, in Czech like the real exam.
- 4Know what to catch up: points today, the gap to the chosen school and what to improve.
Free, no payment details.
Target schools: admission points and chances
See your child against the real exam, in their own words
One hour on Zoom with your child and a conversation with you, in English with Arina. The outcome is a written report, not impressions from a call. It names what holds your child back and the first step. In the analysis we also check readiness for the school's own admissions part, for the specific school your child is aiming at.
- 1Who am I: how your child thinks, what interests them, how they feel about learning.
- 2What can I do: where they stand against the exam, by skills rather than grades.
- 3Where am I heading: which school makes sense and when the decision is made.
- 4How do I improve: the plan, a daily habit and who is responsible for what.
Cover
A child schooled outside the Czech Republic can have the Czech language exam waived, and then only mathematics counts. And if the school runs no unified exam at all, we start with the analysis.
What we help with
Subject matter, strategy and the school's own exams
On the international path several things come together at once: the Czech exam, the school's own part, and the English the whole of the later study happens in.
Czech and maths
The unified exam, where the child sits it. Always into year 1 of a gymnázium with the IB, not when transferring into a higher year.
The school's own exams
Aptitude test, essay, maths and English, depending on the school. We know what each one asks.
Academic English
Not conversation, but the language you can write an essay in and follow a lesson in. It is built over years.
Interview and aptitude
Practice for the format and for the situation, in Czech or in English, with our academic partners.
Choosing IB subjects
Six subjects, three at higher level. Chosen for the university course ahead, not for what is fun right now.
Choosing a school
How many points a school took last year, which ones run their own exam and where your child can realistically reach.
Academic profile
How we help your child build a strong academic profile
Universities look at the whole applicant and a profile grows over years. At the age when entrance exams are the issue, it is not about tests or subject choices, but about laying the foundation and finding out what the child wants to give their time to.
- 1
Language
Academic English, built up step by step and systematically.
Goal: readiness for IELTS or TOEFL
- 2
Academic level
Entrance exams done well are the first step towards an international diploma. Choosing IB subjects comes later, at secondary school.
Goal: the entrance exams passed
- 3
Finding a direction
Trying as many things as possible until it shows what really pulls the child. Clubs, competitions, camps, experiments of their own.
Goal: finding what the child enjoys
- 4
Academic writing
Writing clearly what you think and defending it. It starts with the essay at the entrance exam and continues with essays later.
Goal: the essay at the exam and the interview
- 5
Activities outside school
Sport, music, volunteering, projects of their own. They cannot be caught up in the final year and schools ask about them at interview.
Goal: a portfolio the child can defend at interview
- 6
Approach to learning
Resilience, ownership of one's own learning, long-term thinking and the courage to make mistakes.
Goal: academic maturity
Mapa dítěte
The whole profile of a child in one place
The Mapa holds everything we know about a child: who they are, what they can do, where they are heading and how they improve over time. It grows with every lesson, and the parent and the team look at the same data.

How we work
How we work with a child
On the international path it is not only about getting in. We accompany a child from the entrance exams through the IB to the university application, with the same team and one profile that keeps growing.
- 1DiagnosisPřijímačky s Mapou shows the points from the unified exam; the potential analysis shows the whole picture: English, the way your child thinks and what drives them.
- 2GoalWe choose the school together with you and your child, including a backup. A prestigious school is not the best choice for every child.
- 3PlanCzech and maths for the unified exam, English with our academic partners, practice for the school's own part.
- 4HabitA steady rhythm your child gradually takes over. On this path the horizon is years, not weeks.
How we lead a student
A student is a project the whole team works on
A team of people works with the child, with AI helping them. Every lesson is filed into the child's profile, and the preparation is adjusted as it goes.
On the international path this is joined by English with our academic partners and practice for the aptitude test and the interview, in English where the school requires it.
- 1
The analysis gives the plan
The analysis produces the goal and a plan with a first step. The family and the team get the same report.
- 2
A team forms around the child
Everyone who works with the child knows their profile and their goal. When the child's needs change during the preparation, the team adapts and nobody starts from scratch.
- 3
Teaching built for one child
AI files every lesson into the child's profile. We see the progress and the sticking points, and tune the homework accordingly.
- 4
The project grows with the child
We build up the portfolio and follow the progress in the tests. That is what lets us recommend a school that fits.

Skills that cannot be learnt in a week
The unified exam is written in Czech on the international path as well, and neither reading comprehension nor computational thinking grows in a week. In the lesson we show the child the procedure; between lessons they practise it in our app.
- Jeden trenér, jedna dovednostKaždé cvičení trénuje jednu věc, například rozložit slovní úlohu na kroky nebo najít v textu, co v něm opravdu stojí.
- Navazuje na hodinuPo lekci dítě dostane osobní odkaz s cvičeními k tomu, co na hodině ještě nešlo.
- Chyba nic nestojíUkáže, kde se postup láme. Úloha se vrátí později, dokud dovednost nesedí.

International schools
International schools in Czechia
Eighteen authorised schools offer the IB Diploma in Czechia and only one of them is state-funded. An international diploma is most often the IB, alongside it an American diploma or British A-levels.
More about the IB DiplomaEnglish College in Prague
We know the school's own maths and English tests, the non-verbal test and the interview in English in detail, and prepare for them from the school's sample papers. We also know when the unified exam does not apply: for children from abroad, from international schools and for entry into higher years.

Free consultationIB with no tuition
The IB for free in Denmark
Public gymnasiums in Denmark that offer the IB charge no tuition to students from the EU. Students join from the age of 16 with English at around B2. Boarding usually costs money; for students under 18 it tends to be cheaper, and in some places it is free. We help with choosing the school, the application and the motivation letter.
