Artificial intelligence can generate answers in seconds.
But can it teach your child how to question, interpret, challenge, and lead? As technology reshapes how we live and work, the real advantage for today’s children is not speed. It’s depth. It’s judgement. It’s confidence.At Prague British International School, we believe the future belongs to young people who know how to think - not just what to think.
Children growing up in Prague today will enter careers that don’t yet exist. Many of the tools they’ll use are still being developed.
The real question for parents is: Will my child simply consume information - or will they understand it, question it, and use it wisely?
At PBIS, developing independent thinkers is embedded into everyday learning.
We encourage students to:
This is not an add-on. It is part of how we teach across every year group.
Rather than focusing on memorising information, our students are challenged to explore, debate and apply knowledge in meaningful ways.
In Primary, students at PBIS use structured thinking routines to investigate authentic, real-world challenges connected to their units of inquiry. Through collaborative discussions, visible thinking strategies, and hands-on exploration, students build curiosity, confidence, and independence as they test ideas, make connections across subjects, and reflect meaningfully on their learning journey.
On top of their studies in subjects like History and Global Politics, students across our secondary school engage with global issues, debating diverse perspectives, and constructing contextual evidence-based arguments in our thriving extra-curricular clubs and societies such as our award winning debate teams, and in our PBIS-hosted Model United Nations and World Scholars Cup.
The result? Students who are confident in uncertainty and capable of navigating complexity.
As part of Nord Anglia Education, PBIS benefits from a global research collaboration with Boston College, involving more than 12,000 students worldwide.
This research focuses on metacognition - helping students understand how they learn - and has demonstrated measurable improvements in:
These findings shape how we refine our teaching and strengthen student outcomes year after year.
At PBIS, global insight meets local excellence.
When children understand how they think, they grow in self-belief.
They are more willing to:
In a world where technology evolves rapidly, these human skills are what set students apart.
Choosing the right school in Prague is about more than academics. It’s about preparing your child for a future that is still unfolding. At PBIS, we combine academic ambition with global perspective and forward-thinking learning.
