Park Lane International School is a private, co-educational international school based in Prague, Czech Republic. It currently caters for children from Nursery (aged 3–4) to Year 7 (aged 11–12) and will continue to expand to accommodate pupils (aged 13–18) through its senior school branch.
Although classified as a British international school, because of its location in the Czech Republic, Park Lane offers an intensive Czech programme for pupils with Czech citizenship. This programme ensures that Park Lane’s ‘home students’ pass their annual Czech state examinations.
History
Park Lane International School officially opened in September 2006. Within 6 years it had grown into a full-scale Primary school with 180 pupils on roll.
Locations
Park Lane International School’s primary branch resides in a newly reconstructed building called Norbertinum. Norbertinum, which originally served as a kindergarten, was built by the church in 1904. The school is located in Střešovice, a quiet neighbourhood featuring many villas, some of which were designed in the functionalist style by renowned Czech architects. The senior school, which opened in September 2013, is situated in the historic district of Malá Strana.
Curriculum
The school follows the National Curriculum of England. Pupils at Park Lane International School prepare for SATs and, at the secondary level, will sit for the British IGCSE examinations, followed by the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP), which is widely accepted by universities worldwide.
Accreditations and inspections
Park Lane International School is an executive member of the Council of British International Schools,[1] and undergoes regular inspections by the Independent Schools Inspectorate.[2] It is a member of the Independent Schools Council[3] and is recognized by the UK Department of Education.[4]
Leadership
From its inception until June 2012, the Director of Park Lane was Miss Barbara (Basia) Lubaczewska. In September 2012, Mr Paul Ingarfield took over as a Principal of Park Lane.
