Česko-anglické gymnázium

What Česko-anglické gymnázium does

Česko-anglické gymnázium (ČAG) is a private bilingual Czech-English secondary school operating in České Budějovice, Czech Republic, incorporated as ČAG – gymnázium a základní škola s.r.o. (a Czech limited-liability company) and founded in 1994. The school delivers 4-year and 8-year gymnasium programmes entirely in Czech and English to small classes of approximately 24 students, with instruction provided by fully qualified (aprobovaní) Czech teachers supplemented by native English speakers. Students culminate their studies with a graduation thesis defended in English, which functions as a distinctive pedagogical differentiator within the Czech private-school market.

The school's revenue model is tuition-based private education, with disclosed pricing of 74,000 CZK per student per year for the gymnasium programme and 84,000 CZK for the newly added primary programme. Technology infrastructure is intentionally lean — Microsoft Office 365 for productivity and Bakaláři as the student information system — with no proprietary software or platform architecture. The institution supplements tuition revenue with non-dilutive EU funding, including an Erasmus+ KA122 grant for student mobility and additional Czech-Republic-administered EU grant awards, and operates a formal alumni association (Klub absolventů) that supports brand and recruitment.

ČAG is currently in an active expansion phase: a 9-year základní škola (primary school) is scheduled to open in September 2026, a new campus is under construction on Vrbenská street, and the legal entity was renamed in September 2025 to reflect the broader scope. Management has added a deputy director and reorganised internal departments to support the new operating model. The school describes itself as the only bilingual gymnasium in the South Bohemia region, and its customer base consists of individual families — predominantly Czech with some international students — drawn to full-immersion bilingual secondary education outside Prague.
