Jan Deyl Conservatory and Secondary School for Visually Impaired Students is situated in a historical building, an early Baroque palace of Straka of Nedabylice, in Lesser Town, Prague. The whole complex is made of two more buildings (school dormitory and school canteen). It is a school with an all-state activity and non-Prague students are provided with housing.

The education is offered first of all to visually impaired students. The school provides several study programmes. At the conservatory, the applicants can study a six-year programme in Music or Singing. At the secondary school, the applicants can study a four-year Piano Tuning programme or a two-year Piano Tuning and a Cultural Activity programme.

Considering the fact that teaching visually impaired students has special requirements and is quite demanding for the teachers, the school offers consultations for those who have to deal with this. To arrange those consultations, contact the deputy heads any time throughout the school year.

The aims and activities of the Jan Deyl Conservatory and Secondary School for Visually Impaired Students carry on from the activities of the former Deyl Institution, founded in 1910 by MUDr. Jan Deyl, a prominent ophthalmologist and scientist. The philanthropic institution was meant for the upbringing and education of blind youth. Since the 1920s, music education has expanded and furthered the importance of preparing students for a future profession in music education or piano tuning. After WWII, there was a differentiation of institutions of that kind and they became state institutions. In 1948, The Deyl Institution was entrusted with music education and transformed into a music school for blind students. In 1960, the name was changed to the Secondary Music Boarding School and Professional Tuning Boarding School. In the school year, 1976/77, the school became the Conservatory for Visually Impaired Students and Professional Tuning School for Visually Impaired Students. Jan Deyl’s name returned to the title in 1992 – Jan Deyl Conservatory and Tuning School. Since 1st September 2006, the school has been named as Jan Deyl Conservatory and Secondary School for Visually Impaired Students.
