"As a 3rd BIE best student I won a voucher for the European Summer School. After realizing that I would never have been able to afford it on my own it seemed like an opportunity I couldn’t pass on. I went, had the time of my life and am definitely going back next year."

Soutěž Best in English je soutěží, která kráčí s dobou. Naši žáci jsou účastníky již osmým rokem a na své umístění mohou být někteří právem pyšní. Soutěž se stala ambiciózním projektem, který umožňuje žákům srovnání svých schopností zvládat anglický jazyk v žebříčku konkurence a to z různých úhlů pohledu i v mezinárodním měřítku. Online test je profesionálně připraven a spolupráce s jejími organizátory je prvotřídní.

"My stay in Canada was not only the greatest adventure of my life, but also the biggest introspective challenge I have ever gone through. I was very afraid, because school can never really prepare you for real conversations with native speakers. Despite that, in just two days after my arrival I found myself talking to everyone I met on the street and I got to befriend people I never would have even met back in the Czech Republic. I learned a bit about how the world outside of Europe works, but more importantly I learned a lot about myself, what I'm capable of and just how much I can accomplish on my own." (Best BIE 2021 Student in the Czech Republic)
