School Information
The Prague British School is the new name for the British International School, Prague. The school was founded in 1992 to serve both the Czech and international communities in Prague. The school opened as Prague British School in September 2007.

PBS is an independent English language, multinational day school, providing a British education for children aged between 20 months and 18 years.

Pupils up to Year 9 follow the National Curriculum for England. Pupils in Years 10 and 11 follow the International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE), followed by the International Baccalaureate (IB) diploma in years 12 and 13.

Classes throughout the school are small which allows for carefully planned individual programmes of study where needed. All instruction is in English with extensive support for children for whom English is not a first language. We pride ourselves in our high academic standards as proven by our results. Having introduced the IGCSE programme in 1996 and the IB two years later, our students constantly achieve results well above the UK average and in line with independent UK schools. Students in the primary school take the UK National Curriculum Standard Assessment Tests (SATs) and results consistently exceed the UK national guidelines.

All teaching staff are highly qualified and experienced graduate teachers, with relevant experience of the National Curriculum, IGCSE and IB programmes. All the language teachers are specialist native speakers.

The Prague British School has three sites:
Bubenec (Prague 6 - north west Prague) Age 3–11 years
Modrany (Prague 4 - south east Prague) Age 20 months 6 - Years
Kamýk (Prague 4 - south east Prague) Age 6 – 18 years
