Want to spend a fun Saturday learning new things?
Are you curious about something you don't learn at school?

DISCOVERY PROGRAM is for children from 5 to 16 years of age. Since its inception in 2013, children themselves choose courses, create their own schedules from a variety of subjects including courses helping them in their personal development, for example, basics of rhetoric. Typically, children gather for in class courses once a month on Saturday in Prague.

Our programs and topics go above and beyond school curricula.
We offer a variety of topics from the natural sciences, humanities, informatics, and psychology - all of which come with personal development. These are topics that children generally encounter much later in high school or at the university.
While most courses are taught in Czech, several courses for older children are in English. Some courses for the youngest children include English terminology and basic phrases.
Our lecturers are experts in their subjects. They inspire and motivate children in their development. We also engage young college students to become assistants to our lecturers. Some of our assistants have become lecturers themselves.
Schedule for Discovery Saturdays:
- Spring semester (February – June)
