About international schools in Prague, Czech Republic

Prague’s IB international schools typically teach the Primary Years (PYP), Middle Years (MYP) and Diploma (DP) programmes, with most schools operating in English while offering Czech and a range of European languages as additional language options. Annual tuition varies widely across the city; a typical mid-market international-school bill is in the low hundreds of thousands of Czech crowns, while Diploma-level fees at the highest-charging schools can be noticeably above that. The Czech school year is centred on a September start, and schools commonly run rolling admissions with formal entry points and waiting lists for the new school year, plus assessments or interviews for non-preschool places. Relocating families should budget for deposits and possible assessment fees, check each school’s current IB authorisations and language-support provision, and plan applications several months ahead of an intended September start.

FAQs for Czech Republic

What’s the difference between the PYP, MYP and DP in an IB school?
The IB Primary Years Programme (PYP) is a transdisciplinary programme for younger children that focuses on inquiry and concept-based learning, the Middle Years Programme (MYP) covers early secondary years with an emphasis on interdisciplinarity and personal project work, and the Diploma Programme (DP) is a two-year pre-university course with external examinations and core elements such as the extended essay and CAS. These three programmes form distinct stages with different assessment models and age ranges, and schools may offer one, two or the full continuum.
How much do IB international schools in Prague typically cost?
Tuition varies by school, age and programme but most international schools in Prague charge annual fees in the low to mid hundreds of thousands of Czech crowns; market summaries place a typical annual figure in the region of CZK 200,000 - 430,000, while Diploma-year fees at the highest-charging schools can be substantially higher. Expect additional one-off fees for registration, enrolment deposits, exams and school trips.
When should we apply and what does admissions usually involve?
Most families aim to submit applications several months before the September intake; the Czech school year runs on a September - August cycle and schools typically confirm places in the run-up to the new year. Admissions commonly include a written application, an interview or tour, language or age-appropriate academic assessments, and an enrolment deposit, with many schools operating waiting lists for popular year groups.
What languages are used and will my child be able to learn Czech?
The primary language of instruction at Prague’s international IB schools is usually English, and Czech is widely offered either as a language subject or as part of a bilingual pathway; many schools also offer French, German, Spanish and other modern languages. Schools vary in the intensity of Czech language support for non-native speakers, so families should check whether there is dedicated EAL/Czech as an additional language provision and how quickly students are expected to join mainstream classes.
What should parents look for when choosing an IB school in Prague?
Check that the school holds current IB authorisation for the specific programmes you need, review recent inspection or accreditation reports and sample assessment outcomes, and ask about language-support arrangements and class sizes for your child’s age group. Also confirm practical matters such as the academic calendar, transport options, fee schedules (including extras and refund policies) and the admissions-deadline rhythm to match your relocation timetable.
