About Us

AKCENT International House Prague has been a language school since 1988. It was started by 15 Czech English language teachers.

In 1990 the school became a private company. We are proud to be a cooperative, owned by most of the permanent staff.

In February 2000 the school affiliated to the International House World Organization and changed its name to AKCENT international House Prague.

Now, we have grown to be one of the three biggest private language schools in the Czech Republic. The English department employs over 80 full-time members of staff and has in excess of 2000 students.

AKCENT International House Prague is not only a language school; it is also involved in resource and project development such as e learning.

Furthermore, we are also the foremost teacher training school in the country and offer a range of courses for teachers. We offer a number of courses including The Cambridge CELTA and DELTA, a young learner certificate and one in teaching business English - one of our goals is to open a teacher training college within the next few years we are one of the main centers for teacher training and teacher development in the country.

The main school in Prague 4 (where CELTA and DELTA usually take place) is surrounded on all sides by a garden with trees and benches. It is a five-minute walk from a metro station, which is just 10 minutes from the city center. The classrooms are in a recently remodeled and enlarged two-storey building, with the staffroom, administration and library in an adjoining one-storey building.
