The ISP Gala is the eagerly awaited annual event dedicated

to supporting the ISP Scholarship Programme
 

Saturday, 22 March 2025, 17:00 – midnight

At the heart of this year’s ISP Gala are two values that transcend time and unite humanity:

‘Love and Truth’

Inspired by Václav Havel’s timeless message

“Truth and love must prevail over lies and hatred.”

The evening celebrates the power of compassion, integrity, and community. 

This special event invites us to reflect on these enduring ideals while coming together
to support the ISP Scholarship Programme and create life-changing opportunities for students
who might otherwise be unable to experience an ISP education.

Held at the historic and symbolically significant Prague Crossroads - a venue deeply connected to Václav Havel’s legacy.

 The event will feature live performances, a gourmet dinner, a highly anticipated auction, and unique experiences for everyone.

17:00 –  18:00 | Welcome drinks and canapés 
Enjoy a unique blend of live music, featuring performances from classical pianist Alec (Grade 11) and a short set of original ambient electronic music composed and performed by students in Grade 9 and 10. In addition, Callahan Davenport (Music Teacher) will perform vocals,

2025 ISP Gala attendees should be aware that the total price of entry is split into “ticket” and “donation” categories for accounting reasons. This means that of the price of attending the event, 3,600 CZK is classified as a “ticket” or the cost of organising the event, and the remaining is classified as a “donation” towards the ISP Scholarship Programme. The event is organised under the Public Collection Number: S-MHMP/515652/2018, registered with the Prague City Hall (Magistrát hl. m. Prahy).

The ISP Scholarship Programme transforms lives by providing academically gifted local students,
who would otherwise not have access to such opportunities, with an ISP education.

These scholars are chosen not only for their academic abilities but also for their positive attitudes and potential to enrich the ISP community.

In 2024/25, we are proud to support 12 scholars, including two new students who joined in Grade 9, empowering them to become
Curious, Competent, Compassionate Changemakers.
 

Thanks to the generosity of our community,
we will have one-of-a-kind experiences and unique items available during our Live and Silent auctions.

We are currently in the early stages of curating our list of donors and will share it soon.
Please check back for updates on the wonderful contributors supporting the 2025 ISP Gala.
