Opening September 2028

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:

Foster smoother transitions between Junior and Senior High
Deepen collaboration between students and staff
Strengthen community, wellbeing, and student support
Maintain a personalised, student-centred approach

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.

Innovation and Future Readiness

Learning environments will integrate technology to inspire curiosity, creativity and problem solving. Through interdisciplinary and real-world experiences, students will develop the skills, confidence and adaptability to thrive in a rapidly changing world.

Spaces for Deep Learning

A dynamic library and academic hub will support research, inquiry and collaboration, with flexible environments designed to deepen learning across disciplines. Enhanced science and learning spaces will enable students to explore, experiment and pursue excellence.

Connection, Community and Belonging

Thoughtfully designed social and gathering spaces will foster meaningful connections among students, staff and families. Welcoming environments for both daily interaction and special events will strengthen relationships, build a strong sense of belonging, and offer parents meaningful ways to engage in school life.

Collaboration and Wellbeing

Flexible, student-centred spaces will encourage teamwork, independent learning, and creative problem solving beyond the classroom. Integrated wellbeing support will ensure students feel known, supported, and empowered to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.

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.
