Your year
What awaits you this year
Learn how to learn
Secondary school works differently from primary school. The handbook shows you how to plan your time and avoid getting overwhelmed.
How to study at secondary school (PDF)You organise EDURUN
The run for students and graduates is prepared every June by first-years – from sponsors to hosting. A great first item for your portfolio.
About EDURUNChoosing your specialisation in spring
At the Obchodní akademie (Business Academy) you choose your specialisation for 2nd year in May. Go through the offer in good time.
Elective subjectsReal-life accounting
Accounting starts at the Academy – four hours a week. Ask right away if something does not add up. It piles up.
Choosing conversation classes and seminars
In May you choose a foreign-language conversation class and seminars for 3rd year (both the Academy and the lyceum).
How the choice worksProject with ABSOLVENTI.cz
The garden, the sign on the building, now a memorial place for Dr. Beneš. Come up with what comes next and raise the money for it.
Student projects30,000 for schools
Have an idea for improving the school? In 3rd year you can push it through with a team and the town will pay for it.
Work placement in May 2027
Academy 4 weeks, lyceum 2 weeks, 6 hours a day. You can find a company yourself – or apply for Goslar (up to 6 places).
Rules and work placement report (in Czech)Work placement report

Summary exams: less last-minute cramming
Students in years 1–3 take summary exams in key subjects at the end of the year. The point? To make you revise the material continuously and not arrive at maturita with gaps from second year.
- Regular date: 7 – 11 Jun 2027
- Make-up date: 14 – 16 Jun 2027
- Topics and schedule by subject will be published during the year.
Elective subjects and seminars
The choice takes place in May through an online form. It applies to 1st and 2nd year of the Academy and 2nd year of the lyceum.
