History

[edit]

The school was founded in 1995.[citation needed] It was previously in Na Okruhu 395, Prague 4.[2] Its final Prague 4 campus, Libuš campus at Brunelova 960/12, opened in 2007.[3] This campus, now a part of the British International School of Prague,[4] has a 6,782-square-metre (73,000 sq ft) building on a 18,029-square-metre (194,060 sq ft) plot of land.[5]

In 2015, Nord Anglia Education announced a global collaboration with The Juilliard School to enrich performing arts education in its schools.[6] The English International School Prague became one of ten pioneering schools to begin embedding this collaboration in its performing arts teaching, commencing in September 2015.[7]

The final headmaster of the school was Mel Curtis who joined in 2017.[citation needed]

The English International School Prague has a small teacher to pupil ratio.[8] It is owned by Nord Anglia Education, which runs 43 schools internationally, educating more than 34,000 students in 15 countries.
