Basic secondary education, spanning 9 years, is available at both state and private schools. These schools welcome foreign students, offering diverse curricula, including the popular International Baccalaureate (IB) program and the standard Czech certificate. Private schools in the Czech Republic conduct annual assessments to gauge student progress, with a grading scale from 1 (best) to 5 (worst), where students scoring 5 may retake exams after summer.

Higher education in the Czech Republic is divided into professional and academic streams. Vocational training is offered in specialized higher education institutions, while universities provide Bachelor’s, Master’s, and Doctoral programs.

Language courses tailored to foreign students are available in various language centers and schools. Options range from short-term holiday language camps to intensive semester-long courses. These programs help students master Czech, learn grammar, acquire specific vocabulary, adapt to new surroundings, and can lead to a CEFR certificate.
