Curriculum and academics
Park Lane is a British school at heart, following the National Curriculum of England through the early years, primary and secondary, taught largely by UK qualified staff. Pupils sit Cambridge IGCSE in the middle of the secondary years and then progress to the IB Diploma in the sixth form, so the school pairs a familiar British structure with an internationally recognised leaving qualification. Its standing as an accredited British school overseas reflects regular external inspection against English standards.
That British to IB pathway is the school's central proposition for families who want continuity with the English system on arrival and a globally portable qualification at the end. As an English medium school it suits children moving from UK and other British curriculum schools, as well as international families starting fresh. For how it compares with the city's other Diploma schools, see our guide to the best IB schools in Prague, and ask the school directly for its recent IGCSE and Diploma results and university destinations rather than relying on any league table.
Not sure which Prague school fits?
Answer a few questions and we will shortlist three schools matched to your child, your budget and where you plan to live.
Park Lane International School fees
Park Lane sits in the mid to upper part of the Prague market. As an established British school with the IB Diploma at the top, it typically prices above community schools but in line with the city's other established international options, and the senior years are the most expensive stage. We do not publish an invented figure here; the school sets and resets its own schedule each year, so confirm the current tuition directly. Use our international school fees hub to understand how Prague tuition is structured before you compare offers.
Beyond tuition, budget for a registration fee, a refundable deposit and optional extras such as lunches and trips. Take the School Finder quiz to see where Park Lane fits against your budget, and put it against alternatives on our compare tool before you decide.
Admissions
The school year starts in early September, and Park Lane runs a main intake then alongside rolling applications through the year where places exist. With its early years, primary and secondary provision spread across campuses, the busiest entry points are the start of primary and the move into the sixth form for the IB Diploma, so families relocating to Prague should begin the conversation early.
Admission considers academic readiness and the fit with the British programme, with support for pupils arriving from other systems. Prepare prior school records and reports, and confirm the current entry requirements, assessment and any waiting list with the admissions team, as well as which campus serves your child's stage.
Location and who goes there
Park Lane operates across several campuses in Prague. Its primary school and early years are based in the Norbertov area of Prague 6, the secondary school sits near Malostranska, and the IB Diploma centre is in the Mala Strana district close to the Petrin gardens. That spread means the campus your child attends, and the commute to it, depends on their stage, so it is worth mapping the journey from where you plan to live before you commit.
The community is broadly international, with British and other English speaking families alongside Czech families who want an English medium British education and a wide mix of other nationalities. For families weighing a British route against an English medium international or a national option, the deciding factors are usually curriculum continuity, the IB Diploma at the top and campus location.
