International School of Brno

What International School of Brno does

International School of Brno (ISB), legally Brno International School s.r.o., is a private K-13 international school founded in 2008 and located in Brno-Vinohrady, Czech Republic. It is the only internationally accredited school in the South Moravia region and the first English-language high school there, serving approximately 200-280 students aged 3-19 across four divisions: Kindergarten (ages 3-4), Primary Years 1-6 (ages 5-11), Secondary Years 7-9 (ages 11-14), and High School Years 10-13 (ages 14-19). The school delivers a complete IB Continuum, including the Primary Years Programme (PYP), Middle Years Programme (MYP), and Diploma Programme (DP), supplemented by Cambridge IGCSE in Years 10-11, and is accredited by the Council of International Schools (CIS) and recognized by the Czech Ministry of Education. ISB also operates the only official SAT testing centre in South Moravia and offers supplementary services including English as an Additional Language (EAL) support, Special Educational Needs support, after-school activities and clubs, and the Duke of Edinburgh's International Award.

ISB operates as an asset-light, single-campus educational institution with 46 employees (predominantly internationally-recruited teachers). Revenue is generated almost entirely from tuition fees, which range from 298,500 CZK/year for Kindergarten to 520,500 CZK/year for the IB Diploma Programme, plus a one-time 25,000 CZK registration fee, and recurring fees for EAL support (4,000 CZK/month) and After School Club (1,800 CZK/month). The go-to-market is direct-to-family: prospective parents visit the campus, students undergo placement assessments, and contracts are signed directly with the school, with sibling discounts (10-20%) and a 1% lump-sum payment discount used as retention and cash-flow tools. Marketing relies on the school website, social media (Facebook, Instagram, X, YouTube), monthly newsletters, community events through the Parent-Teacher Association, and word-of-mouth referrals from current families. The school uses the third-party Toddle platform for digital portfolio sharing with kindergarten families, but has no proprietary technology stack, no AI/ML capabilities, and no digital product offering beyond standard educational software.
