Czech Agricultural Secondary School in Humpolec

Welcome

Welcome to the Czech Agricultural Secondary School in Humpolec, a secondary vocational and technical school with a proud tradition and a modern outlook.

A Long Tradition of Excellence

Our school was founded in 1887, making it one of the oldest institutions dedicated to agricultural education in the country. Since then, it has continually evolved to meet the changing needs of the agricultural sector, while remaining firmly rooted in its rich tradition of excellence.

It started as a small winter agricultural school, but soon transformed into a center of excellence in plant production, with a particular focus on flax cultivation. A farm was later purchased, and a botanical garden was established—both for educational purposes.

After World War II, animal breeding was introduced, and in the 1960s, the school officially gained the status of a secondary educational institution. Its curriculum was expanded to include subjects such as horse breeding and equestrian studies.

Thanks to the dedication and vision of everyone involved, the school has always kept pace with changing times.
