What Riverside School Prague does

Riverside International School Prague is a private, Christian-ethos international school founded in 1994 and headquartered in Prague 6, Czech Republic, operating four campuses across the Bubeneč, Sedlec, and Hradčany neighborhoods. The school serves children aged 3 to 18 through a continuous pathway spanning Early Years, Primary School, Junior High, and Senior High, with a total enrollment of over 700 students representing more than 60 nationalities (approximately 70% international). The curriculum is built on the English National Curriculum and culminates in the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP), IGCSEs, and the American High School Diploma, supported by a Skills for Life after-school programme of over 150 activities.

The school's core product is tuition-based educational delivery, with no proprietary technology platform or AI components. Classes are kept small at roughly 18 students to enable personalized instruction. Quality is validated externally through an accreditation stack that includes CIS, NEASC, COBIS, AoBSO, IB World School, and Cambridge International Examination Centre status, alongside UK DfES and Czech Ministry of Education recognition. In April 2026 the school received an Outstanding rating across all categories from the British Schools Overseas inspection programme, and it has held Penta Outstanding School awards in both 2022 and 2026.

The revenue model is recurring tuition and school fees paid by families on a per-programme basis, distributed through a direct admissions process including campus visits and online applications. Distribution is single-country, serving primarily families in and relocating to Prague, with board
