Inspire, Engage, Empower: The International School of Prague charts a path to success in the classroom and beyond

Nicole, an ISP student from first grade to graduation, fondly remembers being challenged to think independently and explore her ideas from a young age. She credits her teachers for nurturing her curiosity, which eventually led her to pursue her passion for digital media and culture at King's College in London. Nicole's interest in the creative potential of technology was sparked by a graphic design elective at ISP. "I didn't even know I was artistic until then! ISP taught me that taking risks and exploring new things is an essential part of life," Nicole reflects.

Rhia, a first-year medical student at Brighton and Sussex Medical School, credits her self-esteem and confidence in pursuing medicine to the influence of "extremely intelligent and motivating female teachers" at ISP. Rhia also recalls the impact of her service experiences at ISP, which shaped her desire to affect positive change in medicine. A genuinely compassionate changemaker, Rhia intends to find a way to “give back,” such as working one day with a non-profit like Doctors without Borders.

Lexi is a dynamic eleventh-grader at ISP with a broad range of interests, including theater, physics, and debate; however, Lexi’s true passion lies in her role as a changemaker, making an impact in Prague’s homeless community. By partnering with FriendShip Prague, and other service organizations, Lexi has initiated student clubs at ISP to mobilize other students to create positive change. She says, "Being a changemaker is about the willingness to try and help; it's about seeing problems in your community and taking action to make a positive impact."
