The International School of Prague is an independent, coeducational day school which offers an educational program from prekindergarten through grade 12 for students of all nationalities. The School was founded in 1948. The school year comprises 3 trimesters extending from late August to mid June. The School is not officially recognized by the government of the Czech Republic, nor is its program in any way regulated by the Czech Ministry of Education. The curriculum is that of U.S. private, independent schools, with modifications made to meet the needs of pupils from different countries.
Instruction is in English.
There is no religious instruction. The School is accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools and the European Council of International Schools. The School is housed in a newly constructed, purpose-built facility on the outskirts of Prague which can accommodate up to 750 students. All classrooms are wired for advanced technology, and computers are available throughout the School. In the 2000-2001 school year, about 99 percent of the School's income derives from regular day school tuition and registration fees.
