Welcome to the Czech Academy of Agriculture in Humpolec, secondary vocational and technical school

Over 130 years

We celebrated the 130th anniversary of our school in 2017.

Over the decades, since its foundation in 1887, the Czech Academy of Agriculture in Humpolec has become an innovative modern institution pushing the boundaries of agricultural education possibilities.

Started as a small, one of many winter agricultural schools, the institution has soon transformed into a place providing education in plant production with focus on flax cultivation. Later on, a farm was purchased and a botanical garden  established, all for educational purposes. After the war years breeding was added on the list and in the 1960s the school finally got the status of a secondary educational institution, providing a range of subject fields to study, within the years extended by subjects like horse breeding and equestrian studies.

Thanks to the enthusiasm and struggle of people involved in the project, the institution has always managed to keep up with time.
