A New Campus for
Junior & Senior High
Riverside International School is proud to share a defining development in the life of our school: the creation of a new, unified campus for our Junior High and Senior High students in the heart of Prague 6, opening in September 2028.
This purpose-designed campus will bring together students and staff, creating one secure, cohesive learning environment. This incredible development reflects both Riverside’s continued growth and a long-held commitment to providing first-class facilities that strengthen Challenge, Community and Care, within a setting where heritage, nature, and modern learning come together.
One High School Campus. Shaping the Future.
For many years, Riverside’s Junior and Senior High students have learned across two separate sites in Hradčanská. Bringing them together strengthens continuity, collaboration, and pastoral care.
This development allows Riverside to:
Heritage, Nature & Location
A Campus Where Heritage, Nature, and Community Meet
The new Riverside campus comprises five buildings, blending contemporary learning spaces with architecturally distinctive heritage structures. This thoughtful integration reflects Riverside’s commitment to respecting the past while preparing students for the future.
The campus sits at Evropská 176/16, Praha 6, a highly regarded district
with close proximity to Riverside’s Early Years and Primary School campuses.
Transport & Accessibility
Neighbourhood & Green Space
This combination of heritage architecture, outstanding accessibility, and natural surroundings makes Prague 6 an exceptional home for Riverside’s unified Junior and Senior High campus.
Designed for the Future of Learning
The campus is being designed to support a modern, student-centred educational experience, encouraging innovation, creativity, collaboration, and academic excellence — while remaining grounded in care and personal connection.
Riverside's Story & Values
A Natural and Purposeful Step
Riverside International School has provided outstanding education to local and international families for over 31 years, serving approximately 730 students across multiple campuses.
Our vision has always been to create learning environments that reflect our Strategic Values of Challenge, Community, and Care. This new Junior and Senior High campus mirrors the strong sense of place, character, and belonging found at our Primary School—also located in Prague 6.
After many years of searching, we are excited to have found a site that aligns so closely with our mission, vision, and values, while allowing Riverside to strengthen its reputation as a leading international school in Europe.
This development represents a meaningful investment in future generations and a foundational chapter in Riverside's ongoing story.
