Duhovka offers a comprehensive system of bilingual Czech-English education that guides children from their earliest years through adulthood and helps them grow into independent and resilient individuals.
From preschool through elementary to high school, we create a respectful environment where children can discover their abilities, learn to think in context, and gain confidence in their own path.
Founded in 2008, Duhovka serves children and youth aged 2 to 19. It provides education based on the principles of a Czech-English learning environment and the Montessori eductional method. The preschool was founded first, in 2008. Duhovka Elementary School and Duhovka High School followed two years later. Duhovka Institute, which provides certified teacher training in the Montessori method, is another part of the Duhovka Group.
Natural English, an international environment, and a high-quality academic education also prepare our students for further study, work, and life both at home and abroad.

Our Schools and the Institute
Toddlers and Duhovka Preschool
A toddler class for children from 2 years and a preschool for children from 3 years offer a prepared environment which promotes the child’s natural curiosity and helps fully develop their potential in the spirit of the thought: “Help me do it myself.” Children learn through a process of observation and engagement of all senses and are accompanied by experienced guides, for whom kind care and respect are a matter of course. Duhovka Preschool supports each child’s enthusiasm to get to know the world, their uniqueness and resourcefulness.
Duhovka Elementary
An elementary school for children from grades 1 to 9 creates a bilingual Montessori environment which corresponds to children’s natural developmental needs and supports their overall growth. Special emphasis is placed on children learning to think in context and on simply being able to cope with various situations that they will encounter in life and living their own lives. It guides them to independence and responsibility for what they create. It develops their interest in education and teaches them respect in an environment where they feel loved and respected.
Duhovka High School
A Czech-English eight-year high school helps students discover and develop their talents, including the hidden ones. It supports their self-confidence and faith in their own abilities. The goal of the high school is that students leave with - besides the academic knowledge - a life-long love of learning, the ability to navigate the ever-changing world and readiness to face challenges. Students can choose to graduate from the high school with a Czech leaving certificate or an internationally recognized IB Diploma.
Duhovka Institute
Duhovka Institute is an AMS accredited Montessori educational program under the guidance of qualified instructors with many years of experience. Thanks to the institute, the Duhovka system maintains a high quality of education. The purpose of the institute is to provide further education, transform thinking in terms of approach towards the children, and provide complex personality development for teachers, lecturers and other employees.
