How to choose
- Curriculum and the next move. If you may move country again, IB or British programmes (IGCSE, A levels, IB Diploma) transfer most easily. If you plan to stay, a bilingual school keeps Czech in play.
- Commute. Most large campuses are on the edges of the city; check the school bus routes before choosing a flat.
- Waiting lists. Popular year groups fill up; apply in autumn or winter for September entry. Most schools assess English and ask for previous school reports.
- Employer support. Relocation packages sometimes cover tuition; ask before signing a contract.
The free alternative: Czech state schools
Children of foreigners living in Czechia have the right to attend Czech state schools free of charge, and schools must offer Czech language support. See our guide to enrolling a child in a Czech school.
