Homeschooling

Homeschooling

The first impulse for establishing the first primary school for gifted children in the Czech Republic was the personal experience of Dr. Ing. Stanislav Svoboda and his son David in the first year of a state school: the absence of an individual approach, emphasis on shortcomings, and a disregard for the child's talents. David was enrolled in experimental homeschooling at that time, and started learning at home with his teacher.

Start of a test operation of the school

The School for Children Association initiated the foundation of the Cesta k úspěchu School, started the test operation of the school and attempted to include the school in the network of schools in the Czech Republic. However, the attitude of the then leadership of the Ministry of Education was clearly negative. The school for gifted children was an undesirable 'elitism' for the Ministry.
