Each year the school opens one class on the eight-year programme (where pupils begin at the age of eleven, having transferred to gymnasium after just five years of attendance at primary school) and three classes on the four-year programme (for fifteen-year-old entrants who have completed a full nine years at primary school), so there is a total number of twenty classes at the school. The final-year students take the maturita, the Czech school-leaving exam. Gymnázium Jana Keplera offers numerous extracurricular activities, for example being part of a musical ensemble or a drama club. The school has a sports ground and three indoor gyms. The library comprises almost 17,000 volumes of classical literature and textbooks as well as recent scholarly writings.
