Teaching
We offer a unique opportunity for families seeking the highest standard of education while valuing an environment that gives students the space to grow in their wider interests. At Open Gate, students are our partners. They take an active, responsible role in shaping the school and its culture.
Teaching at Open Gate combines the Czech national curriculum with the International Baccalaureate (IB). It is delivered by an international team of teachers and takes place largely in English. This allows students to use a foreign language naturally, understand different cultural perspectives, and develop a global outlook—skills they later apply at university and throughout their personal lives.
We encourage students to find original solutions, value creativity, respect individuality, and create the conditions for each learner’s personal development. We guide them as they discover their own sources of joy across the many paths the modern world offers. At the same time, we foster tolerance, build social responsibility, and inspire students to engage with what is happening around them—both locally and globally. By sharing everyday moments with peers from diverse backgrounds, they create a strong, supportive community based on mutual respect, trust, and kindness.
Our lessons are designed so students play an active role in their learning. They have space to explore, inquire, experiment, and push the boundaries of their understanding. Passive copying from the board has no place here. Instead, we provide an environment where students can truly engage with learning itself.
In a world shaped by constant change, learning continues throughout life. At Open Gate, we do everything we can to ensure our students are ready for this reality.
Open Gate Teachers
What is an Open Gate teacher like? First of all, inspiring. Moreover, Open Gate’s international teaching staff include kind and patient specialists with a broad range of academic and teaching experience. They bring innovative methodologies into classroom, and are committed to lifelong learning.
IB Programme
Since 2009, we have been among the first Czech grammar schools to offer students the option of completing the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IB). This globally recognised qualification opens doors to universities around the world.
Teaching in English
We place strong emphasis on English from the very first year. In the upper years of the grammar school, most subjects are already taught in English, enabling students to think and work in the language naturally. Foreign-language teaching is delivered by an international team of teachers.
Holistic Growth
At Open Gate, extracurricular activities are designed to support well-rounded personal growth. Students can choose from a wide range of options: academic clubs, volunteering, internships, or dozens of leisure activities offered directly on campus—from sports and culture to languages and hands-on creative clubs.
Counselling Services
Our career counsellors and school psychologists support students throughout their studies. We help them discover their strengths, guide them in overcoming challenges, and work with them to choose the university path that suits them best.
Student Profile
We see our students as whole individuals—with their aspirations, talents, strengths, and areas for growth. Our role is to help them connect these qualities with their abilities and make full use of the potential they bring with them. The Student Profile reflects the values our school stands for.
School Trips and Events
Learning at Open Gate extends far beyond the classroom. Throughout the school year, our students take part in a wide range of trips, excursions, sports courses, and internships.
