Early Years Admissions

It is always exciting to welcome new students to ISB. Registration at ISB is possible throughout the entire school year (assuming there are free places in the classes).

Contact visit

Prior to formally applying to the school, families are welcome to visit ISB anytime. ISB staff members will be happy to provide a tour of the facilities, to introduce families to teachers and students and to answer any questions they might have about the school and the registration process. These visits are best timed during the school day in order for visiting families to observe the school in action.

To arrange a visit, please contact

Head of School - Mr. Jan Švihálek +420 776 490 120
Primary and Early Years Principal - Mrs. Chrissy Simmons +420 601 015 896

Once the decision to register at ISB has been made, families should provide the school with the following documents:

• the completed registration form - download here
• kindergarten health declaration - download here
• a copy of 1 parent's passport
• a copy of the student's passport
• translated copies of the most recent progress reports from the student's current school
• all pertinent documentation detailing the student's education thus far (Behaviour Plans, Individual Education Plans, Special Educational Needs documentation, Advancement Plans, relevant medical information, etc.)

Assessment

Once the registration package is received by the school, it is then necessary to confirm incoming students' current stage in their education and their needs. In most cases, students are placed with their peer group; however, in order to be sure that all students are appropriately challenged each and every day, the school prefers to use internal assessments to make this determination. 

Trial Day at ISB

A Trial Day gives prospective students the opportunity to experience a normal school day at ISB and to get a genuine sense of how our school works in practice.

During the day, students meet teachers and future classmates, explore the school environment and take part in learning shaped by IB principles - active participation, inquiry, collaboration, discussion, independent thinking and making meaningful connections.

A Trial Day is not a test or an entrance examination. We do not expect visitors to perform or prove anything. We are happy for students to join lessons as much as they feel comfortable, but the main purpose is to give them an authentic experience of the school atmosphere and the way learning happens at ISB.

Our students naturally help visitors feel welcome, support them throughout the day and give them the opportunity to experience the school from a student’s perspective.

We believe that this kind of first-hand experience is an important part of choosing a school – not only for parents, but especially for the student.

Book a Trial Day

No tests, no pressure - just experience the atmosphere.
