The kye elements of Dalton education always seemed to me to overcross the field of education.

Words like cooperation, responsibility and freedom have strong - almost eternal - values in our everyday life.

Specific for this school

Mixture of humanistic classic ideas (e.g. Komensky) and new and modern international approaches (including Dalton) help our friendly team of Brno Chalabalova School to form our teaching philosophy.

Also cooperation with several universities and foreign partner schools create open school world in which we try to follow rules like respect, cooperation, responsibility and freedom.
