Husova School
In terms of Czech language “Basic School and Kindergarten Brno, Husova 17" is situated almost in the middle of Brno, the capital of Southern Moravian Region. It’s also the second largest town in Czech Republic with almost 380,000 inhabitants. The building was opened on 12th May 1883 with a golden key. It was called after its “patron” Prince Rudolf of Habsburg as a “School of Crown-Prince Rudolf”.
The school itself consists of four separate working-places. The smallest unit is an associated kindergarten with 25 pupils, which became part of school in 1996. It lies at Jánská Street approximately 1 km from the main. Though separated, it follows the same educational principles based on the Dalton Plan. It means that our pupils have the opportunity to learn the Dalton “techniques” in very early age (and almost in the beginning of their “school careers”).
The second small unit is a rented swimming-pool at Rašínova, where we provide the service of swimming for almost 20 other Brno basic schools. The swimming pool (it is more of a watering place) lays something like 100 meters from the third, largest unit of our school – the primary level (or so called, 1st Grade) in the building of a former German Girls’ School of Princess Štěpánka, wife of the Prince Rudolf of Habsburg, and after his death re-named into “Princess-Widow” Štěpánka’s. You can find about 350 pupils that are divided in two parts, partly because of room-problems, partly deliberately. The 5th classes, which belong according to educational standards still to the 1st grade, are placed in the fourth school unit – the lower-secondary level (2nd Grade) where they study with 170 other older pupils. Taking the numbers down, there are more than 520 pupils attending the school, which are taught by 40 teachers and cared after by other members of operating staff.
In 1994 the school started with three other Brno schools to implement Dalton principles of freedom (or these days more often called “responsibility” to avoid negative connotations with “anarchism in classes”), independence and cooperation. Using the alternative (or innovative) teaching method clearly became popular; the Czech Dalton Association was founded in 1996. Five years later the school became also a member of Dalton International organization which promotes innovative teaching all over the world.
The school is not a typical “Dalton school” as they are known from Australia or the USA. Curriculum is divided into “typical” lessons and Dalton assignments by the responsibility of each teacher; however, the Dalton principles are present in all classes.
Pupils are encouraged to take over responsibility for their education, they are challenged to co-operate with their classmates and work independently on the teacher. The “Dalton-assignment” are worked on in block Dalton lessons (primary level) or long-term Dalton assignments (lower secondary).
Many of the teachers also use form of project method and so there are many projects spread through the school year. Among many on the primary level, children learn basics of Highway Code in cooperation with the police, there is a project Universe with Brno Observatory or “Life-In-Darkness” which shows pupils what is like not to see. Among lower-secondary pupils, the most popular project is “Night at Husova”which is exactly what the name is – after a series of workshops on arts, creative writing, creative photography and others, the students sleep at school.
English is taught from the 1st class, two second languages, French and German, are offered in the 7th class. However, students may pick from options also French and Russian (since 5th class). The school offers many other optional subjects, such as Games, Sports, Modern Gymnastics, Art and Pottery on the primary level, Conversation lessons in English, Games, Media Education or Drama-playing on the lower-secondary.
Twice a year (before Christmas and main holiday in June) there are school festivals taking place in the Assembly Hall at Husova. The hall is also used for regular Dalton events: international conference of Dalton International and Czech Dalton Association event in early Fall. (Czech Dalton Association resides at Husova, too.)
