What educanet does

EDUCAnet a.s. is a privately-held Czech educational institution that operates a network of seven schools across four major Czech cities: Prague, Brno, Ostrava, and České Budějovice. The network delivers a continuous educational ladder spanning early childhood (Mateřská školka / kindergarten in Prague), primary education (Základní škola in Prague and České Budějovice), and secondary programs that include general gymnasium (Prague, Brno, Ostrava, České Budějovice), a bilingual gymnasium (Prague), an IT-focused secondary vocational school (Prague, České Budějovice, with IT also offered at Brno), and an economics lyceum (Brno). The offering is branded under a "SMART-MODERN-FRIENDLY" concept that combines traditional Czech teaching methods with notebook-based instruction, classroom audio/video technology, and project-based learning.

The business model is direct-to-consumer: revenue is generated primarily from recurring private-school tuition paid by families enrolling children across the K-12 ladder, classified as subscription/recurring revenue. A secondary revenue stream is DVPP (Další vzdělávání pedagogických pracovníků), continuing professional development courses for teachers within the network and externally, classified as professional services. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. Distribution is handled through individual school websites (praha.educanet.cz, brno.educanet.cz, ostrava.educanet.cz, ceskebudejovice.educanet.cz, skolka.educanet.cz), a central educanet.cz site, and direct contact with school directors. Curriculum differentiation rests on Cambridge FCE certification preparation from 7th grade, CTM-certified American school courses for gifted students, bilingual instruction with native English speakers, and a curated partner-company portfolio that provides industry practitioners, internships, and project weeks. International exposure is delivered through participation in the Erasmus Plus program (educanet-courses.com).

EDUCAnet a.s. is registered as a public limited company (akciová společnost) in Prague, with Mgr. Veronika Mallatová Bartošová, MBA serving as managing director (jednatelka) and representative of the founder for multiple network entities, including an o.p.s. (public-benefit company) entity operating Střední odborné školy Brno. Each school location is led by its own director, indicating a decentralized operating model under a centralized corporate holding. Ownership is founder/management-controlled with no disclosed external investor, parent company, or capital raise. Marketing is conducted through the company website, a Facebook page, and the Erasmus Plus platform; there is no dedicated careers page or visible employer brand presence in the data.
