History
In 1948, ISP (at the time called the English Speaking school of Prague) was founded in the Embassy of the United States, Prague. The school remained in the embassy until 1979, when it moved to a new location known as the "Little Hillside Campus." At the time, the school had 80 students in Pre-Kindergarten through 8th grade. By 1991, with the addition of more students and grade levels, the School was located in three different locations. From 1992 to 1994, 9th-12th grades were added, with the first ISP seniors graduating in 1995. Finally, in 1996, all classes were brought together on the current (custom-built) campus in the town of Nebusice (in the Sarka valley, directly outside urban Prague). In 1998 the school celebrated its 50th anniversary, enrolling 588 students. Ten years later, in celebration of its 60th anniversary, ISP underwent a 6.5 million euro renovation to the current campus.
