Why study IB DP
- In the case of some universities, a student can get into prestigious world universities without taking an entrance test.
- The study is in English, so students will improve their English significantly.
- Student autonomy is an integral part of the IB DP programme. Although students work under the guidance of their teachers, they have to solve many issues on their own. Students will take advantage of this skill at all universities, whether in the Czech Republic or abroad.
- An essential skill, without which it is impossible to graduate from IB DP, is time management. This skill too will come in handy not only when studying at university, but in life in general.

We recommend IB DP studies to those students who:
- like challenges and like to learn new things
- like to study and don't mind a higher volume of work
- are able to plan and complete tasks on time
- have at least a B2 level of English
- would like to study at a university abroad or in the Czech Republic
