Teach abroad at an Eco-School Silver Award winner in the Czech Republic! Launched in 1994, Riverside School is an independent, non-profit international school, offering an international approach to education to students aged 3–18. Riverside has three sites, all located in Prague 6, one of the most beautiful and international areas of the city.
Riverside’s Primary and Junior High Schools rest in the river valley alongside the Vltava River. The picturesque location affords great opportunities for water sports. The campus is enveloped in green spaces, outdoor courts, and playgrounds. The center of Prague is a short distance away, only about 15 minutes by car.
In 2009, Riverside opened its Early Years School in Bubenec. Well situated in a quiet location, the building can accommodate up to 60 children between the ages of three and five. The Nursery and Reception Classrooms and the Early Years Outdoor Activity Area provide opportunities for creative play through individual and group learning experiences.
The Senior High School sits in the heart of the thriving location of Hradcanska, close to a public transport hub. Students arrive at school from all over the city as it is within 20 minutes of most families. The high school features an Arts Centre and uses local facilities and parks for recreation, sport, and field studies.
Riverside School currently enrolls 655 students representing 54 nationalities, 172 of whom are Czech. While the curriculum is based on the British National Curriculum, the Senior High provides both the International General Certificate of Secondary Education and the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme. The school is accredited by New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC), the Council of International Schools (CIS), Council of British International Schools (COBIS), British School Overseas (BSO), and more.
