Our Programs
The Czech School of Seattle is a program of the Center for Czech Education and Culture. The Czech School of Seattle provides Czech language, culture and history education to children of all ages, with a goal of maintaining Czech cultural heritage while strengthening multicultural understanding.
Work on the Czech School of Seattle started in February of 2015 with the support of an extremely dedicated committee of volunteers, and the classrooms opened to the first students in September of 2015 at the Stroum Jewish Community Center.
In addition to offering instruction to students, the School also organizes events and activities for the local community.
CCEC educational and scholarship programs provide support and recognition to outstanding academics, and especially to those whose work and ideas will have longer-term impact on Czech-related activities. These programs often target interdisciplinary pursuits, where new perspectives emerge from a broad spectrum of ideas an experiences, thus ensuring the production of knowledge and expertise grounded in a diversity of key topics, cultures, and social awareness. CCEC educational programs are intended to promote the diversification of knowledge and ideas, ensuring that they remain open to (and challenged by) a range of perspectives, backgrounds, and nationalities.
CCEC educational programs and opportunities are open to applicants from the social sciences, humanities, arts, the natural sciences - any scholar dedicated to expanding their methods and assumptions by building international and interpersonal networks that helps push their work across borders, be they personal, national or academic. Scholarship recipients benefit from having the opportunity to study with researchers and lecturers in the Czech Republic. It is intended that they gain the opportunity to engage not only academic seniors and peers, but also a range of other producers and users of knowledge and culture. All CCEC educational programs share the goals of supporting innovative knowledge production and of crossing borders in areas of social and cultural importance.
The CCEC actively supports and promotes various cultural events and activities in the Seattle area and the Pacific Northwest. Programs are always under development and will be updated regularly.
