Admission to grades 6-9

The admissions process to Grade 6 takes place if spaces become available after 5th graders have left the school (usually to go to eight-year high schools). The number of available spaces will be announced by the school director not later than May 31 and at the same time parents of the children who applied for admission will be informed about the organization of the admissions process.

Those interested in having their child admitted to Grade 6 submit applications for admission any time during the year (however, for admissions for the following school year no sooner than Mid-November of the previous year). The date of the submission of the application is not relevant in this case. Please send a completed application form signed by a legal guardian and a photo of your child to our school office. Once downloaded to your computer, the application is editable.

Admission criteria

The following criteria will apply for the admissions process:

Assessment of the child during a two-day trial - the assessment will include academic (Czech, English, Mathematics tests) as well as social skills of the child necessary for the study in a Montessori bilingual school. When assessing the knowledge of the Czech language, the child’s long-term stay abroad, if any, and their different mother tongue shall be taken into account.
A previous attendance at a Montessori school
Bilingual children who speak Czech and English at the native speaker level or at least at such a level which enables them to communicate fluently and spontaneously with native speakers without much effort on either side.
Siblings of children attending any Duhovka school.
An individual meeting with the parents of the child, usually attended by the school director and one of the school founders. The aim of this interview is to clarify whether the educational offer of the school is identical to the parents' expectations, i.e. that the parent accepts and is interested in what our school offers. The meeting will take place before the enrollment date. (The precondition for the admission of the child is merely the fact that the meeting is held, its course and results will have no effect on admission.)
