Why ISP

Our Community

Belonging is at the heart of ISP

The ISP community celebrates diversity and inclusivity, with nearly 1,000 students from over 60 different nationalities. Our dedicated faculty and staff team reflects this international perspective, representing 20 countries. Additionally, ISP families are actively engaged in our School Community Association (SCA). Through the SCA, we offer a variety of engaging activities, events, and experiences that foster a strong sense of unity, community, and belonging for all.

Our Campus

Purpose-built and innovatively designed

All ISP school sections, from Early Childhood Foundations, Elementary, Middle through Upper School, are located in our unique purpose-built campus. This is one of many reasons that we hear incoming ISP parents referring to when choosing ISP over other schools.

The ISP Campus features purpose-built facilities, including state-of-the-art learning spaces, a recently renovated Learning Innovation Hub (aka Library), a technology and design-focused maker space (Idea Lab), a fully equipped sports gymnasium with a climbing wall, basketball courts, outdoor fields, playgrounds and more. 

We are currently in the planning phase of an exciting Campus Roadmap Project that will bring innovative new spaces to our campus over the next few years.

These include a cutting-edge Design & Innovation Centre, a new Elementary School Cafeteria, Sensory and Multipurpose space, and a renovation of our existing Central Kitchen and Cafeteria.

Our Location

City and Forest: The best of both worldsSet against the backdrop of the picturesque Divoká Šárka nature reserve, just a 20-minute drive from the lively centre of Prague, our campus is easily accessible by public transportation and provides quick access to the forest, a favourite outdoor exploration spot for our children. Prague is often recognised as one of the world's best cities to live in, boasting high safety ratings on the Global Peace Index. This provides our students with ample opportunities to engage and explore beyond our campus.
