Czech Republic · Prague 6
ISP offers four IB programmes in Nebušice. Confirm the child’s upper-secondary route and support fit, and budget annual tuition plus the recurring capital fee and any first-entry charges.
International School of Prague (ISP) is an English-medium day school for ages 3–18 at Nebušická 700 in Nebušice, Prague 6. Its main distinction is the availability of all four International Baccalaureate (IB) programmes, including more than one upper-secondary route. It suits families who want that flexibility and can meet the school’s language, support and financial conditions.
The campus is beside Divoká Šárka’s natural landscape on Prague’s northwestern edge. The school’s estimate of twenty minutes from the centre is not a home-to-school journey guarantee. Test the route from the intended address. No boarding is advertised.
The school uses these stages:
All graduates earn the ISP Diploma, a US-style high-school qualification associated with the school’s New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC) accreditation. Most pupils also pursue the IB Diploma. CP combines IB study with a more applied career-related pathway. These qualifications are not interchangeable, and none should simply be labelled a Czech maturita. Discuss recognition and subject requirements with the intended university.
Upper School offers French, German and Spanish and access to Global Online Academy courses. College and career counselling supports subject choice, applications and standardised tests; it does not promise a university place. Programmes and Upper School.
English is the teaching language. English as an Additional Language (EAL) support is available from Elementary through Grade 10. An English test may follow the application review. Do not assume the same support continues into the Diploma years; confirm academic-English readiness for Grades 11–12.
Ask how Czech is taught, with which groups and hours, and whether the child’s home language is offered. The cited information does not establish a Czech-for-all rule.
Learning Support and counselling are available, in class or small groups where appropriate. Submit a current Individual Educational Plan and psycho-educational assessment if relevant. The team determines whether ISP can meet the pupil’s needs. Referrals for diagnostic testing, speech therapy or psychological support may be external. Student support.
ISP states a non-discrimination policy and considers admission as space and resources allow. The application sequence is contact, requirements check, fee payment, document upload, review and enrolment contract.
Within three weeks of both a complete file and paid application fee, the school says it responds with approval, rejection or further review. Approval alone does not reserve a seat. For August entry, capacity is assessed at the end of April. Approved applicants are then admitted as space allows; others may enter a waiting pool if their parents wish. Ask about the specific grade, not a general statement of availability. Admissions.
The school describes a Learning Innovation Hub and specialist science laboratories. Its Campus Roadmap includes a Design & Innovation Centre, Elementary cafeteria, sensory and multipurpose space, and kitchen and cafeteria renovation. Confirm which projects are complete and how any remaining work affects the child’s day. Campus.
Arts, sport and service activities are part of school life. Ask how Service as Action in MYP and creativity, activity and service (CAS) in DP are organised for the intended year. A general campus description does not establish a particular timetable.
Fees are quoted, invoiced and payable in Czech koruna. Placement is not guaranteed until invoices are paid. The Capital Assessment Fee (CAF) supports construction loans and major maintenance and is charged every year from ECF 5 through Grade 12, not just on entry. Official fees.

Cash is accepted only for the application fee; CZK cheques must be drawn on UniCredit. Use the school’s current payment instructions. For a midyear start, obtain current proration terms from admissions: the 2026/27 page’s referenced note was still labelled 2025/26. Also ask about early departure before signing.
Scholarships are available for Czech citizens and other Czech Republic residents in Grades 6–12, based on merit and need. Applicants begin with ordinary admission. The cited cycle’s deadline was 27 February; confirm the currently open cycle. Gift-funded awards may include sports and cultural trips and college-test costs, including PSAT, SAT, preparation and IB, according to the family’s situation. Those benefits are not general tuition inclusions. Scholarships.
Choose ISP for English-medium IB continuity with distinct upper-secondary options, if the individual language and support plan works. For a family staying in Czechia, make Czech learning and university recognition explicit parts of the discussion.

Deutsche Schule Prag is a co-educational day school in Jinonice. Its German and Czech routes do not have the same entry rules or qualifications, so families should establish the child's route before comparing fees.
Prague 5LFP provides French national education from age 3 to the baccalauréat. Its Czech integration route can take a child from no French into mainstream classes over two years. The British International Section adds advanced English within the French system; it is not the IB.
Prague 4Nový PORG suits families seeking a selective Czech education with substantial English, rather than an English-medium international school. It offers primary school, four- and eight-year gymnázium routes, and the IB Diploma in the final two years. The admissions route and language expectations differ sharply by entry point.
PraguePark Lane is an English-medium day school spread across six central Prague sites. The route runs from EYFS and the English curriculum to Cambridge IGCSEs and the full IB Diploma. Campus allocation matters because fees and accessibility differ.
Prague's English-medium, Czech, German and French schools serve different ages and qualification plans. Keep the actual campus and Czech requirements visible throughout the search.
