Wonderland Academy is a private language-focused primary school which features bilingual Czech/English teaching in core subjects as well as communicative English language lessons. From the second grade there is the choice of additional language lessons in either Spanish or German. The educational programme is suitable for both pupils with previous knowledge of the English language, as well as those who do not speak English yet. Wonderland Academy is a school that prides itself on friendliness, friendly relations between staff and children and a safe environment. The small number of children in classes not only allows for an individual approach to each student, but also contributes to the family atmosphere that prevails in the school. |
