IB Diploma Programme

School Mission

At GEVO, we want to promote the healthy development of our students and help them learn respect and empathy for others, to become aware of their rights and the cultural heritage of their country as well as the culture of others. Our mission is also to prepare students to live responsible and active lives in a democratic society. We strive to help students become inquisitive thinkers who will strive to make the world a better place to live.

What is IB DP

The International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme is an international study programme conducted in English that enables students to gain admission to universities around the world. It takes place during the last two years of high school. Detailed information at IBDP.

For students transferring to the IB program from another school, the tuition fee for the IB DP program is set at the level of full tuition. In addition to tuition, the student also pays textbooks and a one-time fee of €534 for completing the full IB exam (or €89 for one subject).

GEVO students who join the IB DP program from the 2029/30 school year will pay tuition in their category increased by 30%. When transferring from schools other than GEVO, from the 2029/30 school year, new students will pay tuition increased by 30% calculated on the basis of "full tuition".

The student can enter the program (i.e. transfer to) from other grammar school (eight-, six-, or four-year grammar school) for the last two years of study. This study program is included in the study field 79–41–K/41 within the Czech educational system.

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.

• 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
