School Director

Ondřej graduated in biology and chemistry with a passion for nature and movement. He enjoys spending time outdoors and often organizes various expeditions for students around the world, combining adventure with learning about natural laws. An active lifestyle and love of nature are not only a hobby for him, but also a way to inspire others to discover the world around us. In his free time, he enjoys sports such as football, hockey, running, mountain climbing and cycling. He is also the proud father of two wonderful daughters, Anna and Elsa.

Teacher of Computer Science

Albert strives to ensure that secondary schools do not stand on the sidelines when introducing technology and new working practices. In addition to teaching computer science and studying various languages, he loves to spend time outdoors and conquer distances on his own. That is why you can see him on a bike, with a backpack in the mountains, tied to a rock, floating in the river or even on a horse. If you share a similar passion, let him know. Maybe this will turn into a relaxing trip.
