Prague British International School

In Brief

If your priority is strong IB results, a wide co-curricular programme and the resources of a global school group, PBIS delivers - but go in clear-eyed about the premium pricing and ask specifically about pastoral consistency in the senior school.

PBIS is the largest British international school in the Czech Republic. The Nord Anglia group brings real advantages: MIT collaboration on science and technology, Juilliard partnerships for the arts, and 80+ extra-curricular activities across campuses. IB results are strong - 99% pass rate and an average of 34 in 2025, comfortably above the global average. BSO rated it Outstanding in 2020, and COBIS membership adds independent oversight. For families arriving from other Nord Anglia schools internationally, the continuity and familiar structures are a genuine plus.

The multi-campus model is worth understanding before you commit. Primary and early years sit at Kamyk and Prokop (Prague 4), upper secondary at Libus (Prague 4), and the Vlastina campus in Prague 6 adds another site. Logistics across campuses can be a consideration for families with children at different stages. On fees, PBIS sits at the top of the Prague market - annual tuition runs from CZK 375,000 for pre-nursery to CZK 796,000 for Sixth Form. The Nord Anglia premium is real relative to local Prague costs.

Parent feedback divides broadly by phase. Early years gets consistently warm reviews - small groups, attentive teachers and a genuinely caring atmosphere. Senior school feedback is more mixed; some families have raised questions about management accountability and consistency of pastoral follow-through. These are worth asking about directly at open days: ask to speak with senior school parents, not just the admissions team.
