Visit our school | Czech-English Montessori Elementary School Prague

All those who are interested in Duhovka Primary School are invited to open door days, which are traditionally held in November and March.

OPEN DOOR DAYS for the 2024/25 school year are scheduled for:
Tuesday, November 19, 2024 (Elementary & Middle School)
Thursday, March 6, 2025 (Elementary & Middle School)

The Open Day is an opportunity to visit the school premises and talk to representatives of the school community. For those who would like to walk through the school during "full operation" and have a glimpse of a working Montessori class, the morning hours are definitely the best time. We believe that a physical visit and a real experience of a Montessori prepared environment are irreplaceable and non-transferable by any medium. Come to see how our school works and experience firsthand the enthusiastic and creative atmosphere created by the children, parents, teachers and all other staff.

Open door day

Tuesday 19 November 2024 (Elementary & Middle School), 9 am - 4 pm

Thursday 6 March 2025 (Elementary & Middle School), 9 am - 4 pm

The children, acting as guides, will take you through the tour and provide insightful comments (in English and Czech) on all the premises and events. Visitors can also ask them anything and get a picture of the school from the children's point of view. At the end of the tour, representatives of the management, the school owners and the Parents' Association are then on hand to add further important information for visitors.

For those who would like to walk through the school during "full operation" and have a glimpse of a functioning Montessori classroom, the morning hours (9 am - 12 pm) are definitely the most suitable.

Observation during instruction

Starting in November, we invite everyone interested in learning more about Montessori teaching to come directly into the classroom. In the morning, you must arrive at school at 8.20 at the latest. The observation lasts approximately one and a half hours and, depending on your preference (and the number of visitors), it can take place in classes with 1st-3rd grade (the most suitable option for those interested in the 1st grade), with 4th-5th grade or even in Middle School. Afterwards, a joint meeting with a school representative will take place to reflect on the observations and to provide further information to the visitors. You need to register for the observation by email at our office (info@duhovkaskola.cz). Only adults can participate in the observation.

Dates for classroom visits this year are as follows:

Thursday, 7 Nov 2024 (for Grades 1-3 the capacity is full)

School-night discussion about Duhovka Elementary

We invite all parents of future firstgraders who are interested in Duhovka Elementary School and think of it as a potential school for their children, to a meeting with the management and founders of the school.

The meeting will be held at Duhovka Elementary School (Nad Kajetánkou 9, Prague 6) on Wednesday, January 15, 2025 at 5.00 pm.

This meeting is held every year in the period before admission into first grade. Its purpose is to:

Answer questions about Duhovka ́s concept of education and school operation.

Provide information that would help interested parents discern whether Duhovka is the correct choice for their children’s schooling.

At the meeting a first-grade teacher will be present to answer specific questions pertaining to the day-to-day in a Duhovka elementary classroom in addition to sharing practical information about academies in Montessori.

Individual visits

If you are interested, we are, of course, ready to welcome you at any time of the year for an individual appointment to see the school premises or to meet with someone from the school management to get the information you need. You can make an appointment with our office (info@duhovkaskola.cz). We will be happy if you specify your needs in advance.
