As an entrepreneur and investor, my job is to look into the future and try to figure out where to best allocate capital today.

When you're young, it's not money you're investing — it's time. And time is a precious, finite resource. In our view, people who learn how to communicate well, use or build technology, and manage their finances early on will have a huge head start in life — whether they end up working for someone else or starting something of their own.

As the world becomes more global and more digital by the minute, my wife and I felt it was important to build a school that wasn't just bilingual, but one that also encourages skills like communication, tech, and financial literacy from a young age.

We can't know exactly what the future holds for our kids. But we're confident that being able to express themselves clearly, use digital tools effectively, manage money wisely, and think critically will give them a solid foundation no matter what path they take.

As a teenager, I dreamed of becoming an English teacher and opening my own language school. I was always very disappointed with the way English was taught – ineffectively and without developing communication skills, so I wanted to teach English differently.

I have been pursuing my dream since I was 14 years old, and at 17 I met my future husband, who was from the American city of Baltimore, which helped me gain a very positive relationship with American English and culture. The English language has become a part of my life.

In 2009, I began studying English at Charles University and began my teaching career. In 2018, I founded a language school in Beroun that teaches English.

Quality teaching and a personal approach are what I want to continue to offer, including to your children, which is why my husband and I decided to establish this new Czech-American school.

Our school is based on open thinking and listening to the needs of all children, so that we can best develop their strengths. We see children for who they really are and respect their personalities.

"School and sports should go hand in hand. One supports the other. We have a vision for our school to support children to speak English and go out into the world, and at the same time for the school to support their studies while playing sports at the highest level."

"I was thinking about what to do next after my hockey career. I liked the opportunity to build a Czech-American bilingual school with a sports program also because of my own children. We work with great people and it's clear that it makes sense."
