About This Cause
Czech School Without Borders, London is a charitable organisation providing regular education in Czech language, history and geography to Czech-English bilingual children living in the UK, aged 2 - 15. The school section starts with the Reception class for children aged five and six, and continues until Year 9. We follow the official Czech national school curriculum and are one of the three organizations accredited by the Czech Ministry of Education to provide education to the children in the UK. Altogether, more than 200 children attend our classes and workshops on a weekly basis; we also run a multitude of online learning activities. Alongside running the school we’ve created a vibrant active Czech community which is amongst the largest in the United Kingdom. Our aim is to educate a new Czech-speaking generation brought up in the UK who will not only be able to read and write in Czech, but will also feel a sense of belonging to the Czech nation and the Czech Republic. We are also engaged in cross-community, all-inclusive educational arts projects across the Borough of Islington and are a regular recipient of the Islington Mother Tongue & Supplementary School Grant. Amongst our partnership projects are the short animation film Let’s Draw The Olympics, a celebration of the 2012 Olympics, created by more than 180 children from Islington; and the e-book Lilacs of Peace, a commemoration of the 70th anniversary of the end of WW2, which tells the history of WW2 for a primary school audience.
