Our goal is to create a safe environment for all of our students where they will be able to fully develop their individual talents and potentials. We believe that each student is unique, learns differently, and deserves an individual approach from teachers and educators.

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.

IEP Group

IEP’s mission is that all students participate in a stimulating, rich and challenging curriculum that provides them with opportunities to reach their unique potential and through this new partnership with Dukes Education we will be even better equipped to make that mission a reality.

We started our adventure in Spain at the end of 2016, with the partial acquisition of 3 schools in the Valencian community; subsequently, IEP was founded in May 2018 with the objective of becoming a major provider within the Spanish private schools market. Despite the COVID pandemic, we have managed to grow to a group of 7 schools,  employing 450 teachers and educating 4,800 students from 1 to 18 years old. This partnership will enable us to begin the next phase of our development, still under the IEP name and IEP has the honour of being the first schools group in Spain to join the Dukes Education family.

IEP and Dukes have a common set of values, vision and purpose, and we are excited by the tremendous potential this agreement offers IEP staff and students as we benefit from Dukes world-class people, reputation and infrastructure. Students at IEP will benefit from Dukes international exchange and summer camp opportunities, as well as different sport competitions and other exciting and engaging extra-curricular activities. IEP students will also benefit from more world-class career coaching, internship and university counselling, and will be able to confidently apply to any university world-wide through the Dukes platforms.
