The Czech Republic is on the fast track to membership in the European Union. The school's central location is just a 20-minute walk away from Prague's famous Charles Bridge. The school has over 5,000 students and employs over 200 teachers in five language departments - English, German, French, Spanish and Czech for Foreigners. Teachers who join the school during the year may have shorter contacts. New teachers arriving by plane are met at the airport and are given an orientation to Prague by a Caledonian School teacher.
Students are adult and young adult learners who come from all walks of Czech life.
Class sizes range from 1 to about 12 students. Coursebooks come from the Oxford University Press EFL collection. The school provides housing assistance and a free local transport pass. For teachers working out of Prague the school provides free housing and a monthly round trip ticket to Prague. Teachers have free access to e-mail and the Internet from the staff room.
