Gymnázium Evolution (GEVO) is a private Gymnasium that has been teaching since 1992; it has two campuses in Prague: GEVO Jižní Město runs the six-year and four-year programmes, GEVO Sázavská the eight-year programme. All programmes are a 'Gymnasium with selected subjects taught in a foreign language: English', with intensive English and native-speaker teachers. Since 13 March 2018 the school has been authorised to run the IB Diploma Programme in English: students from both campuses and other schools join it for the last two years. Graduates take either the Czech maturita or the IB Diploma together with the Czech maturita in Czech language and literature. The school has long admitted students with dyslexia, physical disabilities and from socially disadvantaged families, granting them full social scholarships. In the 2024-2025 school year the two campuses had 622 students.

Admissions The school admits foreign students: its admission rules state 'uchazeči-cizinci musí dodat doklad o povolení k trvalému nebo dlouhodobému pobytu na území ČR' (foreign applicants must provide a permanent or long-term Czech residence permit) by the start of studies, and the annual report says foreign students from various countries study at the school continuously (16 at Jižní Město and 9 at Sázavská in 2024-2025). The condition is passing the entrance exams and being able to communicate in Czech; there are special lessons for students with weaker Czech. Admission: national Cermat exam in maths and Czech (60%) and a school exam (40%: aptitude test, creativity task, written piece, plus an English test in the four-year programme). Applicants previously taught in an English-language school may write the written piece in English. The eight-year programme admits after grade 5, the six-year after grade 7, the four-year after grade 9; transfers to higher years require an aptitude test.

IBInternational Baccalaureate
A Swiss non-profit, working since 1968. Its programmes are among the most widely recognised school programmes in the world. Authorisation is granted stage by stage, so a school with the final stage does not necessarily run the younger ones; which stages this school holds is set out in the line below.
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. At this school: DP (ages 16-19). DP is the final stage, ages 16 to 19: six subjects plus a compulsory core of theory of knowledge, an extended essay and CAS. The diploma is accepted by universities all over the world, and in a number of countries it counts for admission on the same footing as the local leaving certificate.
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.

Campus: The school has two campuses: GEVO Jižní Město (Tererova 2135/17, Praha 4) and GEVO Sázavská (Sázavská 830/5, Praha 2), plus classrooms at Budečská 944/9 (Praha 2). Jižní Město has a ceramics workshop with a potter's wheel and kiln and a tropical greenhouse with exotic animals; it has no own gym or sports ground, so PE takes place in rented halls of nearby schools, on a neighbouring school's pitch and in Milíčov forest park 400 metres away. Every student gets an iPad. The building is adapted for wheelchair users except that there is no lift.

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.
