Academic School is a private multilingual education complex in Uherské Hradiště: three kindergartens (Mařatice, Kunovice and a hospital kindergarten), a primary school for grades 1-9, a secondary school in Information Technology (since 2022) and a grammar school with extended English (since September 2026). The primary school was founded in 1993 by its head PhDr. Věra Olšáková on the Nordic model; since 2007 it has been a faculty school of the Faculty of Science of Palacký University Olomouc. Teaching follows the Czech curriculum; each year has a standard and a multilingual class where native English speakers teach together with Czech teachers. The school is a partner of Cambridge Park Brno and students take Cambridge English exams at the school. The grammar school and secondary school prepare students for AP (Advanced Placement) exams, including the AP Capstone diploma with CTM, for an extra fee.

Transfer to the primary school is possible at any time of the year after tests in mathematics, Czech and English. Secondary school and grammar school admission is by the unified entrance exam in Czech and mathematics plus an interview; olympiads and certificates count.

The grammar school with extended English opened in September 2026, with some subjects taught in English using CLIL and an optional AP programme.

Accreditations and programmes verified against official registries
Cambridge · authorised programmeThe Cambridge register names the school as a Cambridge centre. It is a Czech school from nursery to secondary; its website names no Cambridge International programmes, only a partnership with Cambridge for English examinations.

CambridgeCambridge International Education
Part of the University of Cambridge. It allows a school to teach the Cambridge programmes and to enter pupils for the exams. There are four stages and they are authorised separately: primary, lower secondary, IGCSE and A Level. If the stages are known they are named in the line below; if that line is missing, the school does not publish them, and the Cambridge registry does not show stages either - it gives only the name of the centre, the country and whether private candidates are accepted. Cambridge calls what it does registration rather than accreditation, and the network holds about ten thousand schools.
What the badge means for this school. The school is allowed to run this programme and to award its certificate. This is a confirmation of the programme, not a judgement on the school as a whole. The entry stands in the organisation's public register - anyone can check it. Which stages - from the early years programme for three-year-olds up to A-Level - this school is approved for is not stated here.
Register to check for yourself, and the full guide →National programme
The state school programme of the country the school stands in: it is set by that country's ministry of education, which also licenses the school and awards the leaving certificate. That certificate is used for entry to local universities, and abroad it is matched to the local one.
What this means for this school. This entry does not count towards the score, and that is deliberate. Every lawful school in a country works to the national programme, so on its own it tells one school apart from no other - unlike the French, German or Russian programmes, which are carried abroad and confirmed by the register of their organisation. We show it because a parent needs to know what programme their child is taught and what certificate the child will get. Counting it would lift the whole ranking at once and still tell nobody apart.

Reviews
No reviews yet. The community rating counts towards the score once a school has five verified reviews - until then we do not show a zero, so as not to mislead.

A low score here means the school does not write about this, not that the school does not have it: a school with good security and a sparse site will score low. A school can fill in its profile, and the score will be counted again.
The score is counted from 8 of the 9 criteria.Only those with checkable data count: programmes and accreditations from official registers, the fee from a published price list. Where it says "scored on the median", the school has no data and the middle of the list is put in its place, so that a gap gives no advantage. Admissions, teaching staff and reviews come in as their data arrives.
