Application fees
- No separate non‑refundable application or registration fee is published for admission to the gymnázium. Submission of the application, completion of the admission procedure and signing the contract precede the obligation to pay the tuition.
- Standard rate: 25,200 Kč per month. School year length is defined as 10 months. - Calculated annual amount (base): 25,200 Kč × 10 months = 252,000 Kč per school year (calculation based on the published monthly rate and stated school‑year length). - Higher‑grade supplement: for vyšší gymnázium (kvinta–oktáva) an additional 20,000 Kč per school year is charged. - IB programme supplement: septima–oktáva students enrolled in the Full IB programme are charged an additional 15,000 Kč per school year. This amount is stated as an additional annual supplement. - Example totals (arithmetic summaries): - A student in a lower year (prima–kvarta) — base: 252,000 Kč / year (25,200 Kč / month × 10 months). - A student in kvinta–sexta (higher gymnázium) — base 252,000 Kč + 20,000 Kč = 272,000 Kč / year. - A student in septima–oktáva enrolled in the Full IB pathway — base 252,000 Kč + 20,000 Kč + 15,000 Kč = 287,000 Kč / year. - Per‑semester amounts are not published; if you divide the calculated annual amounts by two, the implied semester values would be half the annual totals (this is a simple arithmetic division, not a published billing method).
