Guidelines for Sending Promotional Materials to the Center
- We welcome information materials sent by schools, however we prefer electronic versions sent through the e-mail.
- We do not keep a reference library anymore as local students prefer online information.
- If you still want to send us print materials or brochures please only send one copy of each.
- We prefer materials with information targeted specifically towards international students.
- Information about scholarships and specific scholarship announcements are especially appreciated.
E-mail List
The Advising Center operates a special e-mail list, Study-X, for prospective Czech students interested in study abroad. Study-X is web-based and moderated with open membership, meaning that anyone can post messages or search archives. If you want to place an announcement, please send it to the Educational Advisor.
The Advising Center operates a Facebook page for prospective Czech students.
We also have a Facebook group for current Czech students studying in the U.S. If you have any Czech students on your campus, please encourage them to join the group.
Recruitment Calendar: When to Recruit in the Czech Republic?

Secondary Schools
There are several types of secondary schools in the Czech Republic. Students cannot choose levels of courses, the level is set by the type of school where they study. The most demanding level of courses is offered at Gymnaziums. Gymnaziums produce the best quality students who are prepared in liberal arts subjects for further college studies.
