Let's Tell Something More about The Program

EVA is a study program on the economic lyceum, which stands on the modern methods of education. There are many alternative methods of education, let's focuse on ours. Our program is naturally focused on the economic education, which means, you won't miss subjects such as economy, accounting or business. They are taught differently. Part of our program are the cross-sectional days, which combine knowledge of various subjects. EVA has started in September 2019. EVA stands on many pillars, for example: different structure of teaching or interconnected knowledge, which you can find in the card PILLARS. For the beginning, I would describe EVA on one specific example. Apart for perfectly knowing what to expect from the upcoming semester, such as how many tests and assignments will be needed, when will they take place, what will be discussed etc.; I also have my own school work schedule created according to me and my possibilities and preferences. As a student of innovative economic program, I create a project on a specific topic. My professor explaines the assignment thoroughly and lets me work with the time deadline.

In many cases the work is assigned so that I can dive into the topic and understand the true meaning of my work. During my work I have a chance to consult my process, so that my professor could guide me in the right direction. The form of the project is in some cases assigned, but in others I can chose my own outcome and sometimes even a topic. And what is the result? Efficiently grasped and done work which I understand and can pass on my knowledge. My work can then be used for other study purposes. 

On EVA, professors are more like a guide than a leader. They really have a lot of work to do, so they share it. As usual, administration (absences, apologies, disciplinary sanctions, etc.) are dealt with homeroom teachers, but homeroom teachers are also often involved in organizing cross-cutting activities that combine multi-subject knowledge and design an annual study program. They can also be consulted on the content of teaching. Students with school-related problems turn to the homeroom teachers. They are better to be found -even if one of them is missing.

The EVA program is recognized by the Ministry of Education and is not a paid program. 

For Whom Is EVA Suitable?

From the perspective of EVA students, we see that the EVA program suitable for students, who:

• like to deepen their knowledge,
• like to work in groups, who want to discover their role in group work and will be happy to develop their role,
• are independent, can plan their schedule and responsibilities and are able to synchronize them with others,
• can work above the required standard for their own interest,
• would like to try all sorts of forms and outcomes when creating projects, because the standard notes in their notebook are no use to them,
• would like to perceive the professor's approach more as a guide than a carrier of informations,
• rafuse to be evaluated by the classic five degrees, which can be inpersonal in some cases.

Who Should Look for a Program Other than EVA?

EVA students, based on their own experience, recommend a different study program to students, who: 

• prioritize other activities than school and who want to dedicate time for school only on the required level,

• want teachers to assign precise assignments and tasks,

• prefer traditional teaching methods,

• will appreciate fundamental information in one place, preferably pre-prepared, serving as a basis for their learning.

Reviews from the STUDENTS

• The program is mainly for students who want to develop mainly in managerial skills - time planning, group work and more. It wants to get used to it for a while, but after a few months there will be no problem with it. The professors try to be as accommodating as possible.

• The EVA program is good for students who want to focus on their knowledge and what they will learn. It is not good to focus on grades, but mainly on projects, although professors obviously support diligent students. But it is necessary to prepare for the time devoted to study and projects - but the selection helps to meet the assignments that students enjoy. The program is at the beginning, so it is still being developed, so you can develop the program with us.

• The EVA program helps students organize time and work - a big plus in their personal lives. The projects that take place at the school contribute to the student's social skills, personal development, speaking (presentation) in front of a larger group of people. We also participate in projects that are for a good cause! But you need to be prepared for this program to take more work. The results of projects/work often come over time, which can be demotivating for some. But in the end, it's worth it.
