Maple Bear Elementary School Olomouc blends the Czech and Canadian curricula with an emphasis on bilingual learning. In our classrooms, children are guided through a personalized approach within a creative setting, developing critical thinking, teamwork, and strong communication skills in both Czech and English.
The programme of Maple Bear Olomouc Primary School is designed to fully comply with the Framework Educational Programme for Primary Education (RVP ZV).
During the elementary years, children steadily achieve important developmental milestones. Each grade brings fresh challenges that call for ongoing growth in cognitive, physical, and social-emotional abilities.
At Maple Bear Olomouc, our program is dedicated to supporting students’ well-being and sense of social responsibility by:
At Maple Bear Olomouc, we believe that academic excellence comes from understanding not memorization. Our curriculum combines the Czech national education standards with proven Canadian teaching methods, designed to spark curiosity and deepen comprehension.
Our approach focuses on active learning encouraging children to experiment, explore, ask questions, and apply knowledge in meaningful ways.
Students are guided to make real connections, think critically, and develop skills they’ll carry forward for life. Through interactive lessons, projects, and guided discovery, we create a school experience that is both academically rigorous and deeply engaging.
After the academic day, students can take part in after-school club until 5:00 PM. They can enjoy a free play but also a group activities like reading stories, drawing, arts and crafts or spending time outside. We play educational games and talk about important days and people, traditions and festivals both Czech and worldwide.
Maple Bear Elementary School Olomouc is open every weekday from 7:00 am to 5:00 pm. The classrooms and facilities of the elementary school are designed to best meet the needs of all students attending the school.
The school offers pupils a free after-school club where pupils spend time before and after school (8:30).
One of the basic approaches applied at Maple Bear Olomouc Primary School is the so-called differentiated approach. This approach allows teachers to adapt the methods, forms and strategies applied in the educational process so that the potential of each pupil can be maximally fulfilled.
Pupils are not evaluated against their peers in school, but against themselves. Adherence to these principles ensures that every pupil can experience success. This is the main motivating force for pupils to love education.
Maple Bear Elementary School Olomouc is a bilingual elementary school. This means that most subjects are taught bilingually. Thanks to this approach, pupils receive a quality basic education with knowledge of professional terminology in both languages. Such an education opens up opportunities for pupils to further their studies both abroad and at prestigious Czech schools.
Future-ready skills are an important aspect of the programme. These include: risk-taking, teamwork, critical thinking, self-assessment skills, etc. We place much more emphasis on these skills than, for example, simply memorising facts. Our goal is to produce confident, aware global citizens who love to learn and are not afraid to make mistakes in life.
Uniforms are an important part of the Maple Bear Olomouc Elementary School. Uniforms are worn not only by the students, but by the entire staff. They instill a sense of belonging in the children and serve as a safety feature (especially on school trips and when outside the school building).
Meals for the children are provided by the school canteen – Holečkova. Children are presented with a varied diet enriched with plenty of fruit and vegetables.
