Founded in 1992 as a non-profit venture in the Czech Republic, Townshend International School is a private, non-affiliated initiative, inspired by the Bahá’í Writings and named after the great Irish humanist and scholar, George Townshend (1876 - 1957).
Townshend International School is a co-educational, English medium, high school accredited by the Ministry of Education. The curriculum is enhanced by subjects that reflect the Townshend philosophy, which strives to continuously excel in its standards and adapt itself to the needs of a global society and an ever advancing civilization.
The Townshend Campus is situated on a hilltop with an amazing view of a 13th century castle, and the surrounding lakes and forests. Including modern and traditional elements, the school building, built for approximately 350 students, spreads its arms wide open to embrace the hilltop upon which it has risen. Across the path from the school stand 2 completed dormitory buildings, each accommodating approximately 50 people, and 2 part-constructed dormitories.
