Prague’s international and alternative schools continue to attract families seeking high-quality, personalized education for their children.
Parents want to be reassured that the quality of education they expect will match what they receive, but sometimes places at schools are granted on the bases of vacancy, and not preference.
From long-standing international schools to new educational ventures, we bring to you these seven schools that highlight the diversity and vibrancy of learning in the Czech capital.
Fostra Elementary: A Modern Take on Primary Education
Choosing the right school in an international city like Prague means finding more than strong academics—it’s about creating a nurturing environment that shapes a child’s lifelong learning journey. At Fostra Elementary, principal Jan Voda emphasizes bilingual immersion, with two teachers per class (a native English speaker and a Czech teacher) ensuring children “live” the language rather than study it in isolation.
Small class sizes, project-based learning, and a focus on 21st-century skills like critical thinking, creativity, and collaboration help both Czech and international students thrive. With its diverse community, inclusive approach, parental involvement, and personalized support for new arrivals, Fostra offers families a flexible, child-centered alternative to traditional schooling—one that prioritizes curiosity, growth, and confidence alongside academic achievement.
Perrott Hill: A Prestigious British School in Prague
Perrott Hill British School Prague offers families in the Czech capital an authentic British preparatory education with a modern, international outlook. As part of the wider Perrott Hill Education group, the school balances strong academic foundations with creativity, character development, and global awareness.
Students learn in a supportive community that values resilience, independence, and curiosity—qualities that prepare them to succeed wherever their path may lead. Bringing together the richness of British educational traditions and the vibrancy of diverse international communities, Perrott Hill Education believes in the power of diversity, embracing modern teaching practices and an all round commitment to excellence.
BASIS Prague: Critical Thinkers and Lifelong Learners
Part of the renowned BASIS network, BASIS Prague combines U.S. best practices with an international outlook. The school’s mission is to cultivate thinkers, innovators, and leaders who are ready for global challenges. Students are immersed in a demanding yet supportive academic environment that emphasizes STEM, humanities, and the arts. A culture of inquiry, creativity, and high expectations helps children develop not only knowledge but also problem-solving skills and resilience.
Central Point International School: Celebrating 20 Years in Prague
This year marks a milestone for Central Point International School, which has been guiding young learners for two decades. Nestled near Prague’s Žižkov tower, Central Point has grown from its early beginnings to now include both primary and preschool under one identity. A newly painted panda mural greets students each morning, symbolizing the warmth, community, and growth at the heart of the school.
Recent updates include newly remodeled learning spaces, a refreshed logo, and expanded facilities for exploration and creativity. Central Point follows the National Curriculum of England, preparing graduates for seamless transitions into Czech schools, bilingual programs, and prestigious international institutions. Central Point remains a place where potential truly grows, with a future middle school on the horizon.
With only a few places left for this academic year, families are warmly invited to upcoming Open Days to experience Central Point’s warmth, ambition, and community spirit.
Veda School: A Blend of Innovation and Tradition
VĚDA Primary School in Prague offers a warm, family-like environment where children learn with curiosity and confidence. The school follows the Czech national curriculum and uses modern, project-based methods that encourage teamwork and creativity.

By fostering self-confidence, teamwork, and strong communication skills, Cesta k úspěchu prepares children not only for academic success but also for a fulfilling role in society.
All Stars School: Creativity and Confidence on Stage and Beyond
