Questions already asked:
The difference is not that PBIS offers “something extra,” but in how consistently it does the basics right.
PBIS stands out in particular for:
- Its emphasis on balancing academic demands and wellbeing
- Its unified school culture across all grades
- Its clearly defined values, which are reflected in everyday practice
- The long-term results of its graduates, who are successful not only academically but also personally
Because “traditional” isn’t enough for the 21st century. We trade rote memorization for critical thinking and passive learning for active leadership.
PBIS emphasizes transferable skills:
- Independence in learning
- Adaptability
- Critical thinking
- Responsibility for one’s own progress
Thanks to the British curriculum, transitions to other international schools or universities are smoother than is common in local systems.
We don’t believe in limits. We believe in potential.

No, there isn’t an entrance exam. However, every student who joins us in Year 7 and above will either sit a language assessment (non-native English speakers) or a maths and literature assessment (native English speakers).
Students who want to join our International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) in Year 12 will need to have passed their IGCSE exams (or equivalent).
We place students in the appropriate year group according to their age, which is the same as the UK system. This means that children aged five (before the academic year starts) join us in Year 1, children aged six join us in Year 2, and so on.
Children enrolling on our Czech bilingual programme are expected to start in Year 1. This is the equivalent of a ‘preparatory class’ in the Czech system.
If your child is joining us from a different educational system, we’ll make a recommendation based on the information you provide, including recent school reports. Decisions are based on what we believe to be in the best interests of each child.
We’re committed to academic excellence and personalised learning, which is why our students follow a structured blend of British and international curricula. This includes Cambridge IGCSEs and the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP), which provide respected pathways to outstanding higher education across the globe.

There isn’t a right or wrong answer to this question. All the children on our bilingual programme are Czech; however, there are also Czech students who follow our standard primary curriculum. It depends how you want your child to be educated. Our admissions team and Head of Primary can talk you through your choices.
Our early years children (ages 3-5) learn in an average class size of 16. At primary (ages 5-11), our students study in a class of 22. And at secondary level (11-18), the average class size is 16-20.
