International School of Prague

Founded in 1948 to offer an education in English to children of the diplomatic community, the International School of Prague has evolved into a thriving institution for students from over 60 countries. Today ISP offers a complete, balanced and integrated program of studies for boys and girls aged 3-19.

Located in one of Europe's most beautiful cities, International School of Prague tries to take full advantage of Prague's heritage as a gateway between East and West and to provide students with an understanding of the rich culture and history of the Czech people. Instruction in the Czech language is offered as well as instruction in German, French and Spanish as part of ISP's goal of training students to become productive and responsible citizens of the world.

A non-profit, non-sectarian institution governed by a nine-member board of trustees, International School of Prague provides an education based on Anglo/American educational principles and methods, enriched by an international perspective. The school offers the International Baccalaureate Diploma program. Because International School of Prague is committed to continuous improvement, it is accredited jointly by the European Council of International Schools and the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools.

In 1997 the three sections of International School of Prague moved into a modern, purpose-built facility in Nebusice. The new campus now houses the Early Childhood, Elementary, Middle and Upper divisions in four connecting wings. The school includes three computer and four science laboratories, a cafeteria, a theater, two playgrounds, four outdoor tennis courts, four basketball courts (two inside, two outside), two gymnasia and a library.

In addition to the academic program, International School of Prague offers a variety of after-school activities for all age groups, such as dance, girl/boy scouts, creative writing, photography, Model United Nations, drama and music clubs, ceramics, figure drawing, and many more. ISP students can also engage in numerous sports such as volleyball, basketball, soccer, swimming, tennis, to mention but a few, and participate in tournaments organized by the Central and Eastern European Schools Association (CEESA) and the Sports Council of International Schools (SCIS).

Located at the outskirts of Prague, the school is surrounded by green, rolling hills. It is accessible by public transportation and is about 20 minutes from the center by bus and metro.

From August 2001 International School of Prague has a satellite campus in Olomouc, a fast growing university town southeast of Prague.
