A practical guide for families choosing an international school in Prague. This checklist explores key factors including teaching quality, academic pathways, wellbeing, curriculum breadth and long-term student outcomes to help parents make a confident, informed decision.

Artificial intelligence can generate answers in seconds. But can it teach your child how to question, interpret, challenge, and lead? As technology reshapes how we live and work, the real advantage for today’s children is not speed. It’s depth. It’s judgement. It’s confidence. At Prague British International School, we believe the future belongs to young people who know how to think - not just what to think.

Choosing between the IB and the Czech Maturita goes beyond selecting a final exam. It shapes how students learn and prepare for their future. The Czech Maturita offers a structured, locally focused path suited to studying in the Czech Republic, while the IB provides an internationally recognised, English-language education that builds critical thinking and global readiness. The right choice depends on a student’s goals, learning style, and whether they plan a local or international future.

Svět, do kterého dnes vstupují studenti, klade na budoucí absolventy zcela nové nároky. Na téma, jaké návyky by měly školy u studentů vědomě rozvíjet, aby byli připraveni uspět v reálném světě, si s Forbes Česko v podcastu povídali David Lawlor, Principal of PBIS a Paul Baker, Head of Primary.

Fuelled by curiosity and interest in innovation, the PBIS HYDRO Junior team stepped into competitive hydrogen car racing for the very first time - and shared their perspective on what it took.

From injury to podium finish, PBIS student Viola proves that success is about perseverance, passion, and finding joy in the journey.

Michal and Jaroslav, our IB students and members of the Entrepreneurship Club, have clear expectations from the club: they want to learn about themselves and enhance their knowledge and skills in building a business.“The school offers so many options that make life more flexible and enriching,” Michal said, and here’s what they both had to say about their experience with the Entrepreneurship Club.

As the saying goes, if you want something done right, you’ve got to do it yourself. Now at the Faculty of Informatics at CVUT (Czech Technical University in Prague), Dominik’s journey to studying computer science began out of obstinance–he didn’t want to pay anyone else to run his servers, so he figured out how to do it. He hasn’t forgotten his roots, though. Now he pays it forward by mentoring PBIS (Prague British International School) students through a collaboration with his university in hopes of inspiring the next generation of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics) academics. 

Come on, it’s not rocket science. For some people it is! A 2022 graduate from PBIS, Ilyes is currently working on his bachelor's degree with a focus on mechanical engineering, physics, and computer science at Sorbonne University in Paris. Apart from his academic work, he’s also working on a modest side project: developing a jet engine. His approach, in his own words, is to “learn as much as possible about everything” so he can apply his knowledge to real-world situations and make the world a smarter, better place.
