RESILIENCE
TECHNOLOGY + MOVEMENT + A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE + RELATIONSHIPS + SHARED EXPERIENCES → RESILIENCE
The world changes quickly and not always predictably. That is why we develop the ability to learn, adapt, handle uncertainty and overcome obstacles – intellectually, mentally and physically.
Resilience does not develop in theory. It is built through experience. When something does not work the first time. When you have to make an effort, change direction or rely on others.
We therefore create an environment where students study, play sports, overcome challenges and have experiences beyond the classroom together, learning to rely on themselves and one another.

Knowing how to use technology. And how to switch it off.
Technology is a natural part of our lives, and our students learn to make full use of it. It is equally important to disconnect, give the brain time to rest, move, spend time outdoors and be with other people.
For us, digital competence also means knowing when to close the screen.
#ITGTALKS: Why resilience matters to us
In this interview, ITG founder Markéta Fibigerová explains why we consider resilience one of the key abilities for life in a rapidly changing world.
A healthy brain in a healthy body
Our students have four lessons of Sport and Health each week. This is more than physical education. We connect movement with a healthy lifestyle and help everyone find a sport that will remain meaningful to them in the long term.
Every Monday we have a sports morning. Students choose from sports such as krav maga, climbing, fitness, football, floorball, volleyball and basketball.
Sports groups bring together students from different year groups. Sport becomes both physical activity and another setting where relationships and the school community grow naturally.
Our aim is not to make everyone an elite athlete. We want everyone to find a form of movement that suits them and take a positive relationship with physical activity into their future life.

Understanding your own body
We take an individual approach to sport and care about everything around it too – a healthy lifestyle, recovery, injury prevention and sports physiotherapy.
Sport is a natural part of many of our teachers’ lives. We therefore see movement as a fundamental part of a healthy and sustainable life, rather than a school obligation.
Knowing what to do when things get tough
Sport and Health also includes practical first-aid skills.
Every year we hold a workshop with simulated injuries and their treatment. For one day, our two-hectare school garden becomes an outdoor training area with activity stations. Under expert supervision, third-year students prepare scenarios, and first-year students must respond, make decisions and provide help.
Knowing what to do is not enough. You need to find out whether you can do it under pressure.
Outside. Together
Physical activity does not end with Monday sport or at the school gates.
We go skiing in the Alps, take boating and hiking trips, climb outdoors on rocks and go swimming together. Many activities bring together students from different year groups.
Beyond ordinary lessons, situations often arise where you need to overcome something, help someone else, accept discomfort or simply carry on even when you do not feel like it.
That is where resilience is truly built.
