The Prague British International School has three main sites:[3]

  • Kamýk in Prague 4 serves ages 2–14.[3] It is a large[clarification needed] site located in the south east of Prague. Since 2004, it had been the main pre-merger PBS school site, housing a Foundation Stage Unit, Primary and Senior School and the school administration. Approximately 550 students attend the Kamýk site. Since 2004, it has undergone extensive reconstruction, including the building of new outdoor sports facilities, a theatre and a new dining room and kitchen, a new Senior School library and multimedia center.[citation needed]
  • Libuš campus in Prague 4, serving ages 14–18 and having International Baccalaureate and IGCSE courses.[3] It has a 6,782-square-metre (73,000 sq ft) building on a 18,029-square-metre (194,060 sq ft) plot of land.[4] It belonged to the pre-merger The English International School Prague and opened in 2007.[5]
  • Vlastina in Liboc,[6] Prague 6, serves ages 3–14.[3] It opened in 2008 and as a pre-merger PBS campus it had Foundation Stage Unit and Primary School only. Graduates then transferred to the senior school at Kamýk to continue. It had approximately 250 students.[7]

The Council of British International Schools (COBIS) describes PBIS as "an established school of quality and distinction" adding "All teaching staff are highly qualified and experienced graduate teachers, with relevant experience of the National Curriculum, IGCSE and IB programmes."[8]
