The ECP was delighted that Karel Schwarzenberg agreed to become our new Czech Patron following the death of President Václav Havel. He joined HRH The Prince of Wales as Joint Patron.

“I appreciate the English College’s insistence on combining high academic standards with personal achievement in areas such as art and music, sport and debating, and strong sense of community involvement. The students emerge self-confident and articulate, fluent in English and at home on the international scene.”

"I have watched with great pleasure and a sense of pride as the College has grown and flourished. I was particularly glad to meet many of the students and staff during my last visit to Prague, and see for myself the friendly and stimulating environment at the College. I especially welcome the broader international vision the College encourages in its students and I am particularly glad to hear that several of them are now studying in the U.K."

For me, as a parent, the biggest advantage of the English College is communication. However important the other obvious benefits are - such as the teaching being in English, the highly professional background of the teachers, the excellent level of teaching - are, I personally value the attitude of the management, teachers and employees of the school the most, not only towards the students, but also towards the parents.

I am very well acquainted with most of what Prague offers in terms of secondary schools and I believe that the ECP stands out. They are preparing children through their challenging IB and Czech Maturita programmes for university and life beyond in a systematic and balanced way.

ECP is teaching students to see the world around them in a more complex way in comparison to local schools. I like very much how the school contributes to the self-motivation of its students. On the part of management and teachers, I can see all the steps are well thought through, forming our children as susceptible, independent, friendly and educated personalities with very human attitudes towards the environment. I very much appreciate the friendly atmosphere at the school and on the other hand, also the elaborate rules that must be strictly followed.

"Please be aware that in our eyes the ECP teachers are true heroes of our lives in the current Covid time learning situation. We cannot express enough our appreciation of their work. Their efforts directly form our children and they are indispensable to them."

The decision that our kids will study at ECP was one of the best we have ever made. I really appreciate how ECP teachers constantly inspire students to get the most out of them and help them to discover their talent. Although the school is quite demanding, I like that it teaches students to work hard while always being positive and motivating.

English College in Prague has managed to cultivate a sense of tradition and history in a relatively short period of time, whilst also being a very modern learning environment. I really appreciate the unique combination of these dimensions, which sit comfortably side by side and inspire the students and the staff to nurture a friendly yet disciplined environment. Personal responsibility is strongly emphasised and forms the basis for academic, sporting, cultural and pastoral development. I have become involved in the ECPA (parents' association) and have enjoyed collaborating with other parents willing to contribute to the success of the School. The School's leadership has encouraged our involvement, forming a stronger sense of community, which will ultimately pay back in terms of our children's education. The School is also innovative in other ways, such as showing great agility when classroom learning was disrupted and aligning its curriculum to prepare students for IB, University and careers.
