Message from the Head of School

Welcome to the International School of Brno!

Whether you are a student, a parent whose child is already part of the ISB community, or a family considering joining us, I sincerely believe that your experience of education at our school is, or will be, a meaningful and positive one.

I have always believed that knowledge and strong academic achievement should be closely connected to real life, experience, curiosity and common sense. Learning should not exist only in textbooks or classrooms. It should help students understand the world around them, ask meaningful questions, make connections and apply what they know in new situations.

This philosophy is reflected across our Kindergarten, Primary, Secondary and High School programmes. As an IB Continuum World School, we support students from the early years through PYP, MYP and DP, encouraging them to become increasingly independent, reflective and responsible for their own learning.

Together with a high level of English, this approach gives our students the confidence and skills to engage with an international world and to continue their education wherever their future may take them.

At ISB, our values are visible in everyday school life. Respect for others and different perspectives, hard work, high expectations and a positive, supportive environment are at the heart of our community. We want students to feel safe to ask questions, take appropriate risks, learn from mistakes and develop their own voice.

Our teachers are committed to providing challenging, engaging and meaningful learning experiences. Their role is not simply to provide knowledge, but to guide, question, support and inspire students as they develop academically and personally.

Our aim is that students come to school with curiosity and a sense of purpose, ready to learn, contribute and grow. We want them to leave ISB not only well prepared for university and their future careers, but also as thoughtful, open-minded and responsible young people.

To all our children, students and families, I wish you every success as you pursue your ambitions and shape your own path. Stay curious, keep learning and do not be afraid to follow your aspirations.

I wish you many rewarding and enjoyable years at ISB.

“We learn and grow in unique ways to become lifelong learners and responsible global citizens.”
