Note

Students who fall under the compulsory requirements of the Czech education system must choose Czech as one of their options. This course is not an IGCSE, but it is an important prerequisite for the IB Czech A: Literature course. Czech as an Additional Language (CAL) is also not an IGCSE subject  but aims to improve language skills for non-native speakers of Czech.
