Czech School of Portland was founded on April 18, 2012 by Katerina Bohadlova, Lida and Teresa O’Donnell. These courageous women united several playdate groups in the Portland area and created an educational institution with much larger impact than playtime sessions in Czech language. First official classes were open in September 2012, and the school has been operating since.

 

The school is administered by a Board of Directors composed of parents of students attending the Czech School of Portland.

 

Our classes are in person and online.

 

We have around 17 children enrolled in seven classes, and our teachers are native speakers with professional background in education. Built on the model of the Czech Schools Without Borders and in agreement with the official Czech education plan, we work with textbooks and materials used at public schools in the Czech Republic. In addition, we supplement those with teaching materials and individually prepared work sheets.

 

The number of students in each class is small, and teachers give an individual attention to each student. Currently, we do not offer classes for adults. Private online (Skype, Zoom) classes are offered.
