Our Vision Is the Lighthouse
of School Life.

It sets the direction we’re heading in, shapes our priorities and brings together the goals we set ourselves. Our current vision was created in 2022 to mark the school’s 20th anniversary, and we all raised our hands for it – students, parents, teachers and other staff alike. We’re open to inspiring ideas, and we raise our students to be responsible citizens with strong moral values who succeed in education and personal fulfilment, thanks in part to their exceptional language skills.

We’re fully bilingual throughout the whole of our students’ studies, with specialist subjects taught in both Czech and English. But what matters most to us is the school’s iconic atmosphere – a blend of openness, good spirits and mutual respect. Our vision is written into the school’s DNA, and we live it every day.

Ing. Alice Štunda,

Follow Your Dreams with Determination.

(Don’t give up. Follow your dreams.)

At Sunny Canadian, children grow up in a modern environment where they feel happy, safe and free. I believe in good manners, mutual respect and joy in every day. In a fully bilingual environment, students naturally discover the world in both Czech and English, enjoy learning, spend happy years in a supportive and friendly community and grow into confident, well-educated individuals ready to study at the best universities in the Czech Republic and abroad.
