Preparing the young people of today for the unknown occupations of tomorrow

“I'm David. I am studying to be a professional pilot at the Czech Technical University (ČVUT). By the end of my three-year bachelor degree program, I should have 270 hours of flight time and become one of the youngest people in the Czech Republic to obtain an ATPL (Air Transport Pilot License). In a class of 24 other pupils sharing a profound passion for aviation, my peers and I have already become a family. This bond I’ve established with the students is even more impressive when you know we haven't met each other in person. All my classes have been online and will most likely be for another six months. Park Lane has shaped me into a resilient student, not by telling me, but by showing me. This personal quality has allowed me to power through the drawbacks of current distance learning. The reason I am studying at my desired school today is because of the staff at Park Lane who worked hard to get my IB diploma translated (into Maturita) in-time to be accepted into ČVUT. Since my first day at Park Lane (end of Year 6), they have taken my education seriously, even when I didn't. The 'Five Rs' represent the school, staff, and students of Park Lane and has made adapting into university easy.”

Daniel Emerich

I was born in Jacksonville in the state of Florida, United States Of America. I graduated from University Of North Florida with a BA in Education. I then spent 2 years teaching at a middle school in Jacksonville before I moved abroad to start my career in international teaching. After that brief period in the US teaching, the majority of my career has been in international schools in North America, Europe, Africa and Asia: Pachuca, Mexico, Ankara Turkey, Newcastle Upon Tyne, England, Lusaka, Zambia and Beijing, China. I have been in Pastoral leadership for 15 years, including Head of Computer Science and Cambridge Exams officer for 5 years. I feel my role as a teacher is to create a great working environment for students of all abilities in Computer Science and to foster a love of learning; equipping students to be the best they can be academically and pastorally. Outside of school I have a variety of interests in the culinary arts being a trained chef, a love of playing darts and traveling. I am delighted to be here in this wonderful capital city of Prague in my second international, European post. I am looking forward to meeting all the students, colleagues and the school community and experiencing all the opportunities that life here will bring both professionally and personally at Park Lane.

Born and raised in a small town along the beautiful North-East Italian Riviera, I am delighted to be part of the Park Lane community and I am really looking forward to discovering the culture and lifestyle that the cosmopolitan city of Prague has to offer. My love for languages, particularly…
