Education at Tip Toes
Learn more about our unique methodology that prepares children for the future.
Our Philosophy
At the heart of our educational approach is the belief that every pupil is unique and deserves an individual approach.
We have combined the best of the Czech and British education systems to create a study programme that guides pupils from Preschool all the way to successful completion of Year 9.
Our principles are built on the following:
-
Individual approach
Every child learns at their own pace and in their own style—our small classes allow teachers to support each pupil individually and nurture their strengths.
-
Active learning
Pupils are active participants in lessons; through varied activities and projects we cultivate their curiosity and love of learning.
-
Cross-curricular links
We connect subjects to build deeper understanding of the world and develop the ability to solve complex problems.
-
Key competencies
Beyond subject knowledge, we focus on essential skills such as communication, collaboration, creativity, and critical thinking.
-
Language proficiency
English is a natural part of our teaching and opens doors to the world for our pupils.
-
Preparation for the future
We prepare pupils for study at prestigious secondary schools.
We are a faculty (training) school of Charles University, Faculty of Education.
Our Values
The first step towards a successful future starts with us.
We offer top-tier bilingual education at Tip Toes that supports the individual development of every pupil. Students not only gain high-quality knowledge, but also build creativity, critical thinking, and social skills.
Our unique Czech-British educational model, together with a team of highly qualified teachers, provides a solid foundation for future success.
Inspiring
We create an environment that nurtures creativity, curiosity, and a desire to learn. Through a high-quality curriculum, experienced teachers, and modern facilities, we give pupils the space to grow.
Innovative
We use modern pedagogical approaches and methods. One example is teaching through CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning), which combines subject instruction with intensive learning of a foreign language (in our case, English).
Individualised
Our programme “A Step in the Right Direction” is based on differentiated instruction that respects pupils’ talents, abilities, and interests. This enables pupils to reach their full potential.
Interactive
We emphasise active pupil engagement. Through a variety of activities, projects, and discussions, we develop critical thinking, communication skills, and collaboration.
