Unique Czech Education in the Heart of London
Czech School Without Borders, London offers a fully structured, continuous education in the Czech language — in two pre-school groups followed by Year 0 and then from Year 1 through Year 9. Our teaching is based on a comprehensive curriculum aligned with the Czech national education system, thoughtfully adapted for children growing up in bilingual environments. Thanks to clear and accessible materials, parents always know what their child is learning and how to support them.
Throughout the school year, students are naturally and gently assessed, allowing their progress to be monitored without stress. Learning is further enriched through Saturday programmes such as “Cooking Like in the Stone Age”, “Young Illustrator”, or “Future Scientist” — engaging experiences that extend the curriculum and make learning truly come alive.
Our school is not just about language — it nurtures bilingual identity, strengthens the connection to Czech culture, and builds a vibrant, supportive community where both children and parents feel at home.
Czech School Without Borders, London – where learning makes sense.
In Appreciation of Ivan Maria Josef Jelínek’s Lifelong Dedication to Czech Language and Culture
Ivan Maria Josef Jelínek (1909–2002) was a Czech poet, journalist, and radio editor born in Kyjov, South Moravia. After the Nazi occupation in 1939, he went into exile and spent most of his life in London, where he worked for the Czech section of the BBC. His writing reflects themes of exile, faith, and a deep commitment to the Czech language. After 1989, his works were published in the Czech Republic. His legacy continues through his literary work and through support for Czech School Without Borders London, helping to keep Czech alive for future generations.

European Day of Languages:
Students of Year 0 were answering questions about learning languages
On Friday 26 September the EU celebrates the richness of its languages and cultures through the European Day of Languages. On the day, thousands of Europeans, schools and organisations across Europe can discover how language learning helps us understand other cultures and build stronger relationships. We asked our Year 0 students what languages do they know and why do they think learning languages is important. You can listen to their answers in Czech in the video below.
