Studies beyond International School Olomouc. Problem solved...
by Petr Pospíšil
This year our school is opening a new programme for children who are less than 3 years. Our new Lions class is for children from 1 to 3 years old and will finally begin its operation this coming May.
However, we have not forgotten about the students on the other end of the age range. Our lower secondary programme is still developing and it will take us at least two more years until we are able to offer full classes for children in years 9 and 10. Still, we are announcing that we can accommodate individual needs of students who are 13 years old and beyond thanks to our new partnership with Wolsey Hall Oxford.
Would you like to continue studies at a local Czech secondary school but keep developing the English gained at ISO? Do you have a problem because your child cannot attend any local secondary school due to the language barrier?. Would you simply like your child to continue studying, at least partially, within the system of British international qualifications and gain the well known iGCSE in these subjects? Is your child gifted and talented and you are looking for further programmes to develop his or her academic talents? For all these needs we have a solution.
Together with Wolsey Hall Oxford, we can offer a blended study programme that will enable your child to gain high quality education beyond the levels currently offered at our school. We can tailor the programme specifically to your needs and will offer great study support. Click here to learn a bit more about the history of the Wolsey Hall Oxford and do get in touch with me personally if you would like to find out about the courses we can offer as part of this partnership.

Emphasis on skills development (not just memorising).
Individual approach; school’s ability to motivate for improvement.
Your child will be excited to come to school.
You are not buying success, you are paying for the school to monitor your child’s progress to their goals and motivate them to fulfil their potential.
We are not a selective school: we believe that everybody can be successful.
Jolly Phonics is an engaging way to teach children pre -reading and pre -writing skills using phonics. Phonics is the teaching of the sounds that letters make, rather than the names of letters that are taught in the alphabet, because it is the sounds that are useful for reading and writing, not the names. These sounds are taught in a systematic way, alongside all of the skills needed for being a fluent reader and writer in future. Jolly Phonics also teaches all of this in a fun and engaging way, through characters, stories, actions, songs and games! To read more about Jolly Phonics, clickhere.
ORT is a reading scheme which has been developed to help children learn to read from the age of 4. This scheme is used by a vast majority of preschools and schools in the UK and around the world.ORT includes popular characters and illustrations such as Biff, Chip and Kipper, Floppy, Wordless Stories and easy regular word books to capture children’s imagination and interest and help them develop their pre reading skills. It is an excellent way to practise the skills learned through the Jolly Phonics Programme..
Cambridge Primary ENGLISH promotes an enquiry-based approach, developing learners’ confidence, creativity and intellectual engagement. Learners develop English skills that they can apply to a range of different purposes and audiences in everyday situations and in study.
We teach English as a first language. Pupils that are only starting to learn English or need some additional support are allocated to our intensive English as a Second Language (ESL) programme.
More about Cambridge Primary EnglishCambridge Primary MATHEMATICS focuses on principles, patterns, systems, functions and relationships so that learners can apply their mathematical knowledge and develop a holistic understanding of the subject. Knowing your times tables facts without practical application and without developing alongside some good problem solving skills is not that helpful - in our school, we make sure our pupils know why they are learning it and how they can use the specific knowledge and skill.
