Environment of Success
For over 25 years, we have been creating positive changes in education and building a successful environment for our students
It is created by a conscious combination of several factors: cooperation between the team, parents, and students based on trust and respect, school climate, AI values, close relationships, professionalism, and quality.
We create a safe space for practicing and experiencing. We combine a high level of education with personality development.
The environment is very important for the development of a young person
It builds a solid foundation for future personality, influences attitudes, skills, and knowledge. It provides support and motivation for action. It also helps in developing self-confidence, social skills, and the ability to cope with stress and difficult situations.
Furthermore, it supports a young person in understanding values, learning principles, and shaping goals that will help them achieve personal success.
A professional educational environment, open-minded, pedagogically aware educators as well as exceptional infrastructure meeting the developmental needs of students, together create a unique environment, ensuring the development of their talents and an open path to success for young people.

At Academy International schools, we build an atmosphere of trust and good cooperation. We support parents and students, creating partnership relationships. This sets the direction in which we together build an atmosphere conducive to the development and success of our entire community.
We strive for AI schools to be a “second home,” a place where students feel safe and joyfully spend time with peers and on learning. They are also places where they enjoy being and build safe, friendly relationships.
The good atmosphere in the school additionally builds the young person’s motivation for learning and development.
Our environment optimal for student development consists of:
- school climate,
- positive communication,
- safety,
- school work organization,
- assessment method/feedback,
- identification/school uniforms,

Evaluation system used in school has a direct impact on student development. It can influence their sense of self-worth, self-assessment, and motivation to learn. It is important that evaluation is based on objective criteria and a constructive approach, taking into account the student’s development. It should appreciate the student’s progress and indicate directions for further development. The goal of evaluation should also be to encourage the student to make independent efforts, which can improve their self-discipline skills and increase engagement in learning.
Considering the above criteria, AI schools have adopted a diverse and student-centered evaluation model.
In grades 1-3, we use formative assessment. In the early stages of education, every grade is extremely important for the student! It builds their sense of value and, above all, provides them with honest feedback on what they are doing well and what they need to work on. Teachers receive information from students about what helps them learn and plan lessons accordingly. Students are aware of what they are learning and how they are acquiring knowledge. Both teachers and students focus on the process rather than just the end result.
Formative assessment has a positive impact on student development. It helps students learn how to learn, provides them with feedback, motivates them to learn, and encourages independent task completion. Students feel supported by teachers, they feel capable of setting their own goals. Formative assessment builds relationships between teachers and students, allowing teachers to understand their impact on student learning and the effectiveness of their actions. Formative assessment helps students develop their personalities, values, and habits.
Assessment in our schools is linked to good teaching and learning planning. When planning a lesson, teachers primarily define its objectives and evaluation criteria. The way feedback is provided on the work contains four important

The Academy International team consists of qualified and experienced teachers who put a lot of heart into their work and carry it out with passion. Our teachers are specialists who value creativity, professionalism, and commitment. They provide students with safety, support, and motivation to reach higher goals. At the same time, they are individuals who recognize the current needs of young people and the modern world, and continuously deepen their pedagogical skills and qualifications.
Above all, these are people who love working with children and young people. They support students in their development, follow their needs, often take on new challenges with them, sometimes even difficult questions. They approach their work and relationships with students with dedication. They collaborate supportively with parents, actively build a team and an environment for development because teaching is a passion, and shaping young, creative personalities is the meaning of their lives.
Thanks to the open and caring attitude of our teachers, students grow up with a sense of security, respect for dignity, and tolerance. The creative engagement of educators motivates students to openly and creatively set goals for themselves and solve problems.
What impact does the appropriate environment and a good teacher have on a student’s development and success?
The appropriate environment and a good teacher are important factors influencing a student’s development and success. AI creates a development environment for students in which they can feel safe and respected. Our students receive support and knowledge from a qualified team that can provide them with the necessary tools. It is also important for us to have close cooperation between the school and parents so that our actions are consistent, and students can achieve their goals. Furthermore, through good collaboration between family and school, students have the opportunity to express themselves safely and be open to working with peers, which helps them shape their character and social skills.
For the student’s development, it is extremely important to have the opportunity to actively participate in school life. Practicing, experiencing, and collaborating in a group have a positive impact on their development. They lead to increased satisfaction for both students and teachers and allow students to fully utilize their potential. Additionally, learning through exploration, experience, and collaboration has a significant influence on the development of key competencies and leadership skills.
At Academy International schools, we organize many events and activities for both students and families. Every year, students along with teachers go on field trips to interesting natural locations. The program, themes, and types of activities are closely related to the place where the students are staying.
Students experience, collaborate, and participate in both educational and sports activities. During these trips, they strengthen friendships, integrate into the school community, and acquire valuable skills that will stay with them for life.
We activate our environment and act with our community in mind. Together with students and teachers, we undertake various activities for our own development and that of the school. Students represent the school in competitions and events they choose.
We are aware that there is a divided opinion in the public regarding the impact of a uniform school dress code on students. Some see uniformity as a positive change in the right direction, while others question its significance. Research shows that the influence of clothing on students is minimal or insignificant. Its positive impact may depend on many factors such as the norms accepted in a given environment, the quality of the clothing, overall satisfaction, and acceptance. For parents and students, a school dress code can be quite a challenge, but it can also be very helpful in standardizing daily wardrobe.
The introduction of a uniform school dress code also has an important advantage, for example, it eliminates the formation of divisions due to material status. A uniform dress style organizes the environment. Clothes do not distract.
What dilemmas can a standardized dress code create for young people?
Experimenting with clothing is a natural stage in the development of young people, it can also be a way of expressing group affiliation or emphasizing one’s own individuality and personality. Students have the right to be different and express themselves through their appearance. That is why in AI schools, we have proposed Friday as a day free from the school dress code.
Dress code and school ceremonies
Different rules apply to ceremonies, exams, competitions, and other occasions where a student represents the school. In our schools, formal attire is required. White polo shirts are replaced by shirts. Students wear ties, and female students wear bow ties. Casual look is replaced by elegance.
