Testimonials
„I had been passing by Sunny Canadian International School for several years. One day, I came across this school at the Schola Pragensis secondary school exhibition in Prague. My parents met with the headmistress and were immediately enthusiastic about the school. A few days later, they told me that I could try out a lesson, a so-called "trial day," at this school. I was excited but also nervous. When I entered the school, they welcomed me and my nervousness disappeared. I realized that this school was different from other schools in that the atmosphere was relaxed, the teachers were friendly, but at the same time they made sure that the students learned as much as possible.“

„SCIS is a fantastic school. The relationships between teachers and students are excellent – teachers have our respect, but they also respect us. We can talk to each other in a completely normal, friendly way. The teachers are from different countries, so we learn a lot of interesting things about Australia, Ireland, and other places. We learn a lot, especially in language classes, which are absolutely great. The teachers manage to make their lessons interesting and treat us as individuals.“
9th grade students during the admission process
„Good evening, I am a former SCIS student. I wanted to say a big thank you for the amazing trip to Canada, where I fell in love with the country. It took a lot of effort, but now I will finally be able to live and study in Canada. I am excited to be a student at Trinity College School next school year. Thank you again.“
Former SCIS student
„Our two daughters, Eliška and Anička, attend SCIS. Eliška is in her second year of a four-year grammar school, which she transferred to after passing the entrance exams from an eight-year grammar school. Although the eight-year grammar school was also private, the difference in teaching and the approach of the teachers is diametrically different. At SCIS, the teacher and student are partners, there is mutual cooperation and respect, and students are actively involved in the teaching process. Anička is in the second grade of elementary school. She was already excited during the admission process for first grade and loved everything about the school. And when she found out what a fantastic class teacher she had…“

„I am extremely satisfied with the education and care that my son Hugo, a student in 4.A, receives at Sunny Canadian International School in Zdiměřice. The school provides an environment where my son feels happy, supported, and motivated to reach his full potential. Sunny's teachers are enthusiastic about teaching and extracurricular activities, willing to devote themselves to the individual needs of children. I believe that choosing Sunny Canadian for my son's education was one of the best decisions we could have made....“

SCIS is a fantastic school.
Relationships between teachers and students are excellent - teachers have our respect, but they also have respect for us. We can talk to them in a normal way.
Our teachers are from different countries - we learn a lot of interesting things about some of the countries where they are from, for instance,Australia and Ireland just to name a couple.
We learn a lot, especially language learning is great. Teachers manage to teach in an interesting and engaging way, while using an individual approach.
Classroom management is very good.
When I graduate, I will feel like a member of this school, and feel as though I am part of a community.
Students at this school are positive and cheerful (no one is sad orpessimistic).
We are glad that we have the opportunity tobe a part ofan international IGCSE graduating class - I think it is very important for me in the future.
Students follow rules here, they have discipline and a strong moral compass.
Teachers and all staff are very nice and helpful, I feel like I have somebody to rely on; I feel as though we're all one big family here.
The quality of teaching and the style of our teacher‘s work is high.
Classrooms, corridors and all facilities are beautiful.
We are the perfect team here, we have perfect people in the class.

The Sunny Canadian International School is an outstanding setting for our students during their overseas practicum. And in this regard, they come home with a clear and definitive understanding of their expectations as they continue their Senior Student teaching experience in the U.S. It is with the most sincerity that we both would recommend that students strongly consider the opportunity of completing half of their Senior Student Experience with you and even consider the idea of actually teaching at your school.

I would like to thank you for teaching study skills, what a great idea! It’s not only very interesting and fun for our daughter to understand how she can improve in studying, presenting, making notes. But it’s also very interesting for us, parents. We believe it’s truly essential to know and learn how to study effectively. Thank you, we really like this approach.

Upon returning home, I had the opportunity to share with my colleagues the uniqueness of the global student teaching site in Prague and in particular the Sunny Canadian International School.. As you know, while there I observed each of the four students on two occasions, had post observation conferences with each of them and met with their respective cooperating teachers as well. I continue to be impressed with the professionalism the cooperating teachers bring to the table. Not only are they totally prepared to share their thoughts and observations about their student teacher's teaching performance and professional disposition, I found them to be very nice people. I have always said not all teachers can assume the responsibilities of a cooperating teacher but there is no question Ms. Bek, Ms. McGrath, Ms. Darychuk and Ms. Barta are doing an outstanding job! I feel very comfortable knowing that our students will be coming home having their experience at the SCIS be viewed as an extension of their professional preparation. My warmest regards to the administration, faculty and staff at SCIS.

Hello,
My husband and I had a meeting with the specialist teacher Mgr. Lenka Chotětická and the class teacher Mgr. Aneta Slačíková. We furthered our good relationship and discussed not only the current individual education plan for our child but also the possible recommendations for improvement for the following years.
I would like to thank both of the ladies mentioned above for not only their professional attitude but also their sweetness, willingness and understanding. We really appreciate their work.

A placement at the Sunny Canadian International School is very popular among our global student teacher candidates - a tribute to you, the faculty, support staff and student body. Upon their return, our students highly recommend the placement indicating the school culture is very welcoming and the cooperating teachers are very professional and provide an excellent environment to hone their teaching skills.

On this occasion I would like to thank for the perfect School in Nature and for the work of all the teachers. I would like to mention especially Ms. Pacak's sensitive approach towards the children. The stay of the kids was without a problem just because of it. I hope that both parties were satisfied. We have hosted a lot of Schools in Nature in our Penzion but your school was a music to the soul. I hope that Ms. Pacak and her colleagues felt the same. We would like to welcome you again in case that you will be interested.

This was my second time at Sunny Canadian International School, and I accepted the invitation with pleasure. The school’s atmosphere is very pleasant. As an ex-dancer I admire the huge and spacious sports hall, which I can‘t miss on the way to the library. Also, the library is very spacious, well lit, and calm. And I have to say that it is very well equipped. At first sight, the library works well and serves its purpose. I left with a great feeling from both discussions; the kids are inquiring, thoughtful, and they asked me very interesting questions. I listened close to their opinions and ideas, and they inspired me to continue my work for them as a writer and teacher.

I have visited Sunny Canadian International School for the first time, invited to a discussion with students. A very well-prepared program has enabled me to get acquainted with the environment for the multi-level education provided by the school. Students, carefully prepared on program, have created a pleasant atmosphere on monday morning. I finally had time yesterday to read the essay from the students on the topic of articles in the Universe. I was pleased with their knowledge and carefulness.

Dear Aneta, thank you very much for your wonderful teaching this year, for guiding the children to be more independent, and for your active and innovative lessons. The children really like you, and you manage the 3rd grade, which is very demanding, so well, and my son remembers almost everything you have taught him. “Hats off”. I am looking forward for the next year with you.

Dear Amanda, I would like to again thank you very much. It was a pleasure to have you as an English teacher this year. Our child became very independent and fluent in English. Your project "Famous people" was the best project so far!!! I hope that there will be more of projects like that next year! Have a great summer and see you in September.

I would like to thank for the pleasant Wednesday's „Goodbye to future first graders and their first graduation“.
At the same time, I would like to thank for taking care of our daughter in the Czech Kindergarten program. She is an introvert and she doesn't feel comfortable in places where she doesn't know people. In the class U Broučků she has found many friends, she enjoyed school trips and she finished the school year with a sleepover in the school. In the U Dráčků she has blossomed. She was looking forward to every trip and every event the teachers prepared for the kids. I also liked to read the regular emails report from Mrs. Anička and looked forward to all the meetings. The last part of the school year was Indian school in nature. The children loved it, the teachers prepared everything excellently. Thank you for lovely Kindergarten years and we wish all of you a great summer.

Once again I would like to thank you for the Trial Day in Sunny. My son liked it very much. He said that he would like to attend Sunny, even though in the morning in the car he wished for staying in the USA for another 5 years. He must have had a great experience duringTrail Day.
My second son, who tried to be invisible, sang songs from Kindergarten the whole afternoon.

I would like to thank both teachers Anna Matoušková and Kateřina Stejskalová for their hard work at the School of Nature in Hamr. My son was very excited about going, it was his first time at School in Nature and I have to say that he came back satisfied, thrilled and full of enjoyment. From the photos the teachers were sending to us, I can see how much the children were enjoyed their time. But also I understand how hard it was to prepare this venture.
That is why I would like to thank all the teachers for their time and effort spent to the satisfaction of our children and, after all, also us parents.

I would like to thank you on our daughter´s behalf for the amazing week at school in nature. She was overjoyed when she told us about it. I never imagined that she, especially with her character, would enjoy such a thing (if she cried at some point, she never admitted it and put on a brave face). It is obvious to me that she is at ease with you. You have my deepest admiration, everything was organized and prepared perfectly. And then the impeccably packed suitcase was a cherry on the cake :-).

Thank you for the opportunity to try studying at your school and for a very nice acceptance of our son. He came back from school with excitement. He liked the children and he also praised the teacher very much. We think that he finally feels that adults at your school speak to him as equal persons, they respect him and they are interested in his attitudes. Our son would definitely like to go to your school again tomorrow morning.
