PORG Gymnázium a Základní škola
Great news for the growth and development of our school!
Following an inspection by the Council Of British International Schools (COBIS), PORG International School is now a Compliance member.
For our parents and children, it means that we have shown that we meet the highest standards of international and British best practice in providing children with the maximum levels of support in their development at primary school.
The concept at the heart of COBIS compliance is continuous improvement in how member schools provide education. The high standards required are maintained by regular inspections and communication with COBIS. Our staff can take advantage of the training and feedback available, which enables us to learn lessons from British International School across the world.
Once again, the report noted the spirit, enthusiasm and team spirit of our students and staff as well as the strong leadership of our Principle and Headteacher. All of us here at PORG International School look forward to continuing our evolution with the help and support of COBIS.

What do you know about bees? Many people are afraid that they will sting but without these amazing creatures, most of the food we eat would not exist.
Many bees are dying because of human activity but if we learn about them and how important they are to nature then we will be able to protect them.
We are lucky to have a professional bee keeper who will come to our school with some bees who are working very hard making honey.
He will introduce you to the bees and show you that there is nothing to be afraid of. You will get the chance to put on special protective clothes and open the hive to see how they work and keep us all alive… you will also get to try some of their honey!
Books, books, beautiful books!
We have just had a wonderful day of books here at PORG International School, with a visit to Ostrava from our friends at EduCreate Europe.
They have always provided a sensational range of books for our annual book fair and this year was no exception.
A bonus for our 2020 book fair was the range of publishers on offer. Although Usborne Books are rightly famous for their range and quality, they are not alone. This time, they were joined by many other companies, all offering books which will educate, be loved and kept for a lifetime.
Colours, characters, pictures, all combined to bring our children an adventure or help them learn a new subject. The worlds of programming, chemistry, physics or robotics are no longer secret places, closed to all but the students in a university. These topics are shaping our future right now and the books available make them accessible from primary school upwards.
Worlds of fiction fire young imaginations far more vividly in a book than on a screen. New words, new ideas, new dreams all spring to life when a child opens a book. For the children of our International School, this is so important not only for their development generally but to help them to understand and use English in the world they are growing in to.
In this Age of the Internet, it is all too easy to turn to the search engine of your choice and click on one of the top three results. What will the world be like when this is the only choice? With the books on offer at the book fair, there is a whole world of adventure attached to the learning! Will there come a day when no living human knows the feel and smell of a good book? Not as long as we have Edu Create and our annual book fair at PORG International school!
