Reviews
- A Nord Anglia school operating across three Prague campuses (Kamyk, Libus, Vlastina), serving families from sixty-plus nationalities.
- Parent surveys quoted by Nord Anglia put 96% of children as happy at school and 95% with strong teacher relationships, on a moderate sample.
- One parent said primary and kindergarten are "great" but they would not recommend the secondary in the same terms.
- A separate critical review flagged that academics felt below average and fees sat close to the group's UK and Switzerland sister schools despite Czech costs.
- Czech-language threads default to PBIS as the English-medium option for expats, with the consistent caveat that fees are high (around 360,000 to 760,000 CZK).
Positives
- Primary strength. Parents single out the early years and primary as the school's strongest phase.
- International community. Parents say the multinational mix and English-medium delivery are the main draw for expat families in Prague.
Considerations
- Secondary doubts. At least one parent and one critical reviewer say the upper school does not match the primary's reputation.
- Fees and value. Czech-language and forum threads consistently flag fees as high, with one parent saying value sits below other Nord Anglia campuses in cheaper countries.
- Group operations. Teacher comments on Nord Anglia describe salary scales and corporate operations rather than campus-specific concerns.
