Our lower secondary curriculum seeks to build upon a student’s primary education to provide a solid foundation for study in either a Czech Gymnasium, or IGCSEs in an International School.

 

All of our students will follow a combination of the Czech curriculum and the Pearson Edexcel iLowerSecondary curriculum with a priority on developing skills and knowledge in Czech, English, Numeracy, and Science. We also incorporate an additional language,  the Humanities, Creative Arts, and a comprehensive Physical Education programme including regular swimming classes and an assortment of different sports.

 

Leonardo V. Academy prides itself on its innovative project based curriculum which enables students to become self-managing and self-organised, able to work independently or in effective teams. They develop essential skills enabling them to critically carry out research, process information, make appropriate use of ICT, present their findings in public, and are not afraid to take new opportunities presented.

 

At the end of Grade 9, students will leave with a Czech school certificate[1]  and externally assessed certificates in English, Maths and Science, awarded by Pearson Edexcel International. We provide comprehensive careers counselling during Grade 9 to enable students to choose a pathway to either a Czech gymnasium, or to continue their education in our High school or at an international school elsewhere in the world.
