What Soukromá obchodní akademie does

Soukromá obchodní akademie (SOA Žatec) is a private secondary vocational school established in 1995 in Žatec, Czech Republic, operated as a limited liability company (spol. s r.o.). It delivers four-year maturita programs under Czech MŠMT accreditation in two fields: Obchodní akademie (63-41-M/02, covering economics, accounting, business, marketing, and promotional graphics/media) and Provoz a ekonomika dopravy (37-41-M/01, covering logistics and transport operations). Programs are offered in daily, combined, and distance formats, supplemented by adult-education offerings that include rekvalifikační kurzy (retraining courses in accounting, payroll, and logistics dispatch), individual maturita exam preparation, and preparatory courses for entrance exams.

The school's core technology stack is conventional and pedagogically oriented: Microsoft Teams for online learning, Edookit for grade management, and industry-standard instructional tools including POHODA (accounting), Canva (graphic design), and TIMOCOM (logistics/transport), plus a touch-typing program (Psaní Hravě). It operates a single campus at Svatováclavská 1404, Žatec, sharing facilities with the affiliated SPŠE Žatec, and maintains Erasmus+ mobility partnerships (Portugal, Latvia) and a cross-border career-guidance project (LABORA 2.0 with OHK Chomutov and German partners).

Revenue derives from tuition (18,700–22,500 CZK per school year depending on program and study form), individual maturita exam fees (4,900–9,500 CZK per subject), retraining and continuing-education courses, and preparatory courses. The institution had a leadership and ownership transition in September 2021, with three new owners acquiring the school from long-time director Ing. Alice Iskerková; current director is Ing. Lucie Břicháčková. Headcount is 62 total, including 29 pedagogical staff. Revenue is not publicly disclosed.

Broad incumbents

• Vysoká škola finanční a správní (VŠFS): Private Czech higher-education institution focused on finance, economics, and management, granting bachelor's and master's degrees; comparable as the closest private-sector analogue within the Czech business-education ecosystem.
• Masarykova univerzita, Brno (Ekonomicko-správní fakulta): Major Czech public university with a dedicated Faculty of Economics and Administration; functions as a regional incumbent in business/logistics higher education that competes with the school for graduate placement and reputation.
• Vysoká škola ekonomická v Praze (VŠE): Czech Republic's flagship public business university and the dominant brand in economics/logistics higher education; relevant because many SOA graduates matriculate to VŠE, making it the natural anchor of the talent pipeline the school feeds.

Direct peers

• Obchodní akademie, Brno: State-funded business secondary academy in the South Moravian region offering a comparable Obchodní akademie curriculum; relevant peer for pricing, program portfolio, and graduate-employer engagement comparisons.
• Obchodní akademie, Praha: State-funded Czech business secondary academy offering the same maturita-credentialed economics/accounting curriculum and competing directly for the same student cohort; the closest functional peer for tuition pricing and program benchmarking.
• Střední průmyslová škola dopravní, Praha: Prague-based vocational secondary school specializing in transport, logistics, and forwarding; competes for the same logistics-track applicants and validates (or threatens) the Provoz a ekonomika dopravy program.
