Ukrainian School No. 1 in Prague
Українська школа №1 у Празі · Ukrajinská škola č. 1 v Praze · 2021–2026
Essence
Ukrainian School No. 1 in Prague appears in a Ukrainian Ministry of Education list of institutions cooperating with the International Ukrainian School in the 2021/22 academic year. Its own website advertises full-day, Saturday and external-study pathways and lists Štěpánská 568/10 as a contact address. Its independently verified legal operator and Czech educational registration remain unresolved. It should not be conflated with Friends School.

Full research text
The name and correct identification
The public brand “Ukrainian School No. 1 in Prague” has its own record, R0068. It is not equated with Friends School or with a Czech legal entity lacking an identifier. A Ukrainian Ministry of Education and Science document explicitly uses this name; it reliably identifies the educational centre for the 2021/22 school year.
A document relating to the period before February 2022
The list of heads of educational institutions cooperating with the International Ukrainian School for 2021/22, published on the ministry's domain, names Prague's School No. 1. It confirms a place in the partnership network, but contains no statutes, exact founding date or proof of a particular number of pupils.
The context of expanded work since 2022
After the full-scale invasion, Ukrainian schools abroad acquired a new context of social support. However, the date in the official 2021/22 list cannot simply be replaced with a later date for this particular School No. 1. Until records for each school year are available, the narrative should describe “activity before 2022 and subsequent adaptations”.
The school's own description of education
The school's Google Sites pages describe full-day education, grades 1–4, 5–9 and 10–11, school preparation, Saturday school, external study and language programmes. These are self-reported details and may be outdated. Present prices must not be retained in a historical dossier as a verified current tariff.
Certificates and state documents
The school claims on its own website to provide Ukrainian state-standard documents. Without primary contracts or a register entry, neither the legal mechanism nor the authorised issuing organisation has been established. Cooperation with the International Ukrainian School in 2021/22 does not automatically license every programme in 2026.
Educational content and cultural function
The centre itself describes combining Ukrainian subjects, Czech and career guidance for transition into the Czech education system. Its work between two education systems is relevant to cultural history. Actual curricula from different periods require separate verification.
The legal entity and supervisory authorities
The available reviewed sources allow the identification of a public educational initiative, but not a particular founder with a business identifier. The Czech association or commercial register must be checked, the operator contacted and decisions of the Czech and Ukrainian education ministries verified for the current year. Until then, the legality of all offered programmes is not described as confirmed.
Teaching premises and address
The organisation's own contact page gives Štěpánská 568/10, 120 00 Praha 2. The address is attributed to that page; the year of occupation, classroom number and legal basis for use are unknown. The CMS geographic field is address_only, without verified coordinates or a public map pin.
Privacy and work with children
Pupil lists, marks, parents' contact details and sensitive school reports must not be downloaded from public file-sharing services. Information about the organisation and programmes is sufficient for historical publication. An adult head may be named where necessary, without copying personal phone numbers or email addresses.
Its place in Prague's educational history
The material can correct the common chronological simplification that all Ukrainian schools in Prague arose only after February 2022. School No. 1 is a documented part of the International Ukrainian School's network for 2021/22. A publication version requires historical archives and independent evidence of continued activity.
