Pražské humanitní gymnázium

Project-based learning as a key element for success in life is gaining more and more popularity and attention in society. According to expert research, we tend to remember best the experiences we have learned through our own active participation. In this context, the PHG welcomes project-based learning as an essential part of the educational process and is actively developing it. By integrating humanities and science subjects into thematic blocks, it aims to equip its students with the skills and knowledge they will need in their everyday lives. Each of us is involved in a wide range of projects in our lives, large and small. We believe that a student will achieve their goals if they put their energy and effort into achieving them, and our school actively supports this effort with pedagogical support and motivation. Our desire is for students to have the courage to try new things and projects without fear of failure. 

Project-based learning promotes active and in-depth learning that allows students to apply their knowledge and skills to real-world situations and problems. This promotes their critical thinking, creativity and problem-solving skills. It also provides a space for collaboration and communication between students, which develops social skills and teamwork. Project-based learning also motivates students as they have the opportunity to actively engage in their own learning and see the meaning and applicability of their knowledge in the real world. Other supportive factors are flexibility in the learning process, a personalised approach to students and the ability to tailor projects to their interests and needs.

About
Pražské humanitní gymnázium

Pražské humanitní gymnázium, one of the largest private grammar schools in Prague, offers both four-year and eight-year programs. It serves students from 10 to 19 years old and provides instruction in the Czech language.

 

The school has been operated by the Consilium group since 2016, when they started running their first school.

 

Pražské humanitní gymnázium is a leader in progressive education, featuringa comprehensive curriculum that prepares students to navigate the ever-changing landscape
of the future. At its core, the school fosters the cultivation of critical thinking, problem-solving, collaboration, self-reliance, and civic responsibility. We employ project-based learning as a conduit, merging theoretical foundations with tangible real-world applications. For our junior high school students, the block teaching method allows a deep dive into project-based
learning.

 

Within this structure, students immerse themselves in context-rich activities—stimulating games, thought-provoking discussions, and engaging simulations—fostering an atmosphere of creativity, mutual respect, and teamwork. As they transition to high school, students are given the freedom to follow their own academic journeys. Through elective seminars, insightful lectures, interactive discussions, and dedicated project days, students experience an education tailored to their unique interests and aspirations. All of these endeavors, aimed at student personal growth and autonomy, take place in a nurturing, familial environment that fosters each individual‘s potential.

Bambíno

Bambíno is an international nursery and kindergarten welcoming children ages 6 weeks to 6 years. It’s a place where young minds can flourish within our unique educational programme: “Big Things for Little People“. A system that teaches all the necessary practical skills a growing child will need throughout their life. The main goal is to create an environment where the children can better explore opportunities on their own. By experiencing lessons with all their senses, they gain understanding and know-how, and can then apply this to their education as they mature.

Specially designed spaces at both school branches are located on the premises of a grand villa with a garden. Here a playground and dedicated zones allow the children to enjoy a wide variety of activities from nurturing plants and animals to cooking in our child-friendly kitchen. Children make ceramics, develop their musical abilities, participate in sports outside and inside the school gym, as well as work with digital educational technologies.

Over the years we have honed our particular teaching programme to find new ways of educating, motivating and inspiring the very youngest to the slightly older students.

We are a kindergarten that cares for the children as if they were our own.

Enjoying their progress with smiles and hugs, we strive to discover each child’s potential and develop towards it. Children enjoy learning together, playing together, and experimenting together. We support and love each other; however we also explain and set boundaries together. All this means when we develop children, we also develop ourselves.

We strive for all children to reach the same level of progress. Fundamentally, our students grow intellectually, as well as emotionally, gaining all the skills they will require as individuals.

We pride ourselves on our international credentials, having created an environment where many cultures, languages and customs meet. Therefore, we prepare our programmes to allow each child to learn about diversity, multiculturalism, mutual respect and to be inspired by their peers. Often inviting outside experts (including parents and relatives) into our school to help with our projects.

I am excited to welcome you to our Bambíno world. We are full of joy, kindness and wonderful people who do what they love the most – caring for our little ones.

About
Square

Square is a Czech-English primary school located in Prague, catering to students from 6 to 15 years old.

 

It provides instruction in both Czech and English, with extended English language classes. Square caters to the individual needs of each student, while allowing each student to express his or her own unique talents. Our pioneering “Tree Rings” educational methodology begins with what is seen and experienced, then expands to encompass more general and abstract concepts. This provides each child a smooth flow in the acquisition of knowledge from novice to master. Central to our vision is the crafting of an environment that nurtures each student‘s distinctiveness while fostering important skills such as self-awareness, intrinsic motivation, adaptability, and resilience. At the heart of our curriculum is the mission to teach each child the art of learning: identifying aspirations, embracing errors as stepping stones, and charting his or her own academic journey.

 

By maintaining smaller class sizes—capped at 22 students—we guarantee personalised attention and forge deep, meaningful bonds with each child. Furthermore, our curriculum builds proficiency in both Czech and English language communication, ensuring that our graduates are poised to follow diverse personal and professional paths.
