What Obchodní akademie, Praha 10, Heroldovy sady 1 does

Obchodní akademie, Praha 10, Heroldovy sady 1 is a public secondary school (veřejná střední škola) located in Prague 10, Czech Republic. Founded in 1965 and operating from its current Heroldovy sady building since 1966, it was established and is maintained by Hlavní město Praha (the City of Prague) as a contributory organization (příspěvková organizace) under IČO 61385387. The school is directed by Mgr. Richard Žert and serves approximately 400-500 students across three four-year programs: Ekonomické lyceum (Economic Lyceum), Obchodní akademie (Business Academy), and Lyceum. The newest Lyceum program succeeds the previously offered EVA program.

The school's technology stack is conventional for the Czech public-education sector: it relies on the Bakaláři school information system (provided by Bakaláři Software, s.r.o. in Pardubice) for student records, scheduling, attendance, and grades, and uses Google Workspace for institutional email and cloud storage. An interactive 3D virtual tour (heroldovysady.pano3d.cz) supports recruitment. Curricular differentiators include the Studentská firma (Student Company) program — participation in the international FIF (Fiktivní firmy) trade fair network — Erasmus+ exchanges with partners in Poland, Germany, Spain, and Ireland, Duke of Edinburgh (DofE) participation, and extracurriculars such as the Podcast Future On, photographic, tourism, and theater clubs.

As a public institution, the school charges no tuition (mandated by the Czech Charter of Fundamental Rights and Freedoms, Article 33). Revenue is derived primarily from Prague municipal budget allocations, with minor transactional income from administrative services such as a 500 CZK fee per diploma duplicate (effective February 1, 2025). The customer base consists of prospective secondary-school students and their families in Prague 10, recruited through the official Czech přijímací řízení process, open days (Den otevřených dveří), and the Schola Pragensis education fair.

Expansion highlights5 records

Regional players

• Masarykova obchodní akademie: A regional Czech obchodní akademie in Moravia offering the same nationwide-defined business/economics curriculum plus maturitní zkouška. Useful comparable for benchmarking graduate outcomes and Erasmus+ uptake outside the Prague market; not a direct competitor for Prague applicants.
• Obchodní akademie a Vyšší odborná škola ekonomická, Světlá nad Sázavou: A combined secondary obchodní akademie and higher vocational school in Vysočina region, following the same national curriculum framework. Comparable structure of secondary economics education combined with a VOŠ track; useful as a regional peer for outcome benchmarking.

Emerging players

• Vyšší odborná škola ekonomická a sociální (VOŠES): A Prague higher vocational school focused on economics and social fields. Comparable as an adjacent pathway targeting students interested in business careers, but at the post-secondary (vyšší odborná škola) level rather than the secondary level the school operates in.
• European Schools network: Multi-country European Schools system offering secondary education to children of EU staff with internationally aligned curricula leading to the European Baccalaureate. Comparable in their multilingual, internationally mobile student body and Erasmus+ adjacent character — though they sit in a different legal/constitutional niche from a Czech public secondary school.

Direct peers

• Obchodní akademie Dušní: A long-running Prague obchodní akademie focused on business, economics, and languages. Directly comparable to OA Heroldovy sady — same Prague public-secondary-school model, overlapping curriculum in economics, accounting, and modern languages, and competing for the same applicant pool under the same Czech admission process.
• Obchodní akademie Holešovice: A second Prague obchodní akademie offering parallel business/economics secondary programs. Functions as a same-city substitute for families applying through the Czech admission process and is the closest direct peer for benchmarking program design, Erasmus+ participation, and student-company initiatives.
