International School of Prague

The International School of Prague (ISP) is an independent, English speaking, not-for-profit, international school in Prague, Czech Republic.

Establish in 1948, ISP is both the oldest and largest international school in the Czech republic, with over 800 students representing more than 60 nationalities. ISP is accredited by the Council of International Schools (CIS) and the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC). The Czech Ministry of Education has also authorized the school to teach foreign nationals (in addition to Czech citizens). ISP offers its 11th and 12th grade students the opportunity to take the International Baccalaureate Diploma Program.

According to Czech tax law, ISP has only one shareholder, The International School of Prague Foundation, a US 501(c) organization. As a not-for-profit organization, any surpluses are re-invested in the school. The school's financial statements are externally audited, and made available to the public. ISP is governed by a volunteer Board of Trustees, who also hire the director of the school. The current director, as of July 2008, is Dr. Arnie Bieber.
