Our Schools
Tip Toes Czech–British Schools have several campuses in Prague and Brandýs nad Labem.
Our Philosophy
At the heart of our educational approach is the belief that every student is unique and deserves an individual approach.
We combine the best of the Czech and British education systems to create a study programme that guides pupils from kindergarten through to the successful completion of Year 9.
Our policies are founded on the following principles:
-
Individual approach
Every child learns at their own pace and in their own way. Our small class sizes allow teachers to give each pupil individual attention and nurture their strengths.
-
Active learning
Students are active participants in the classroom. Their curiosity and love of learning are encouraged through a wide range of activities and projects.
-
Interdisciplinary connections
We link different subjects to deepen students’ understanding of the world and develop their ability to solve complex problems.
-
Development of key competencies
Alongside subject knowledge, we place strong emphasis on developing essential skills such as communication, collaboration, creativity and critical thinking.
-
Language skills
English is a natural part of everyday learning and opens the door to the wider world for our students.
-
Preparation for the future
We prepare students for successful entry to prestigious secondary schools.
We are an affiliated school of Charles University, Faculty of Education
Our values
The first step to a successful future starts with us.
At Tip Toes we offer top-quality bilingual education that fosters the individual development of each student’s personality. Here, students not only receive an excellent education but also develop their 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 encourages creativity, curiosity, and a thirst for knowledge. Through a high-quality educational programme, experienced teachers, and modern facilities, we give students space to grow.
Innovative
We employ modern pedagogical approaches and methods. One example is CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning), which combines subject teaching with intensive foreign language instruction (in our case, English).
Individualised
Our educational programme ‘A Step in the Right Direction’ is based on differentiated teaching that takes into account each student’s talents, gifts, and interests. This allows students to achieve their full potential.
Interactive
We emphasise the active involvement of students in the classroom. Through a variety of activities, projects, and discussions, we foster the development of critical thinking, communication skills, and collaboration.
