Our Forensic Science students recently stepped into the role of investigators. 🔬 They analyzed tool marks to match impressions with the objects that created them and used paper chromatography to separate marker inks and examine their chemical composition. 🕵️‍♀️🖊️

Through these hands-on activities, students explored some of the same techniques forensic experts use when working with physical evidence. 💡

American Academy Prague took part in the Education Days project held under the auspices of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Czech Republic in Prague. 🇨🇿🎓

A total of 13 schools presented their educational offerings at the Černín Palace, and our academy had the honor of symbolically concluding the event on May 28, 2026.

We would like to thank the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Czech Republic for the opportunity to participate in this project, and we look forward to future cooperation.

Our psychology 🧠 students recently visited Anglo-American University in Prague for a Psychology Career Readiness Workshop. As part of our school’s focus on career readiness, students explored future career paths 🎓 in psychology and learned how classroom concepts connect to real-world professional opportunities.

Last Thursday, three AAP students had an amazing opportunity to speak about a topic they are particularly passionate about at the American Academy in Brno TEDx Youth Conference at the AAB campus.

These students spent months preparing for their speeches 💬, and they absolutely delivered! 👏🏻 Their hard work was rewarded with a relaxing afternoon in Brno where they got to explore the city and network with American Academy students from all across Europe 🌍. We are very proud of their effort and look forward to participating again next year!

Our AP European History students had an amazing field trip to Armádní muzeum Žižkov VHÚ this past Tuesday! They explored both ancient and modern military tactics and absolutely loved the interactive exhibits!

Stand up. Speak out. Be kind. 💙🎨📣 Our whole school took part in a competition created as an anti-bullying initiative to raise awareness about the seriousness of bullying and to involve students in prevention.

Students were challenged to create a poster or a video, and the voting included all pupils as well as a teacher jury.

The project once again brought our community together, sparked joy, and celebrated creativity. The excitement of the winners was huge – and we’re proud of every single student who took part. ✨

Our fourth graders have been working on angles as part of our math unit! 📐 They explored angles on the floor, giving them a different and motivating way to learn through movement and hands-on activities. A fun way to bring math learning to life!

Our students had the opportunity to welcome Jaroslav Bžoch, a Czech Member of the European Parliament 🇪🇺. During his visit, students engaged in an inspiring discussion and asked thoughtful questions about the European Union, international relations, current political challenges, and the role of young people in society.

The visit encouraged open dialogue, critical thinking, and civic engagement among our students.
