The Lauder Schools of Prague - a kindergarten, boarding school and grammar school for Jews in Prague - is located in a historic building at 67/25 Belgická, which housed a Jewish orphanage before the Second World War. In July 1941, the world premiere of the children's opera “Brundibár” took place there, which later became a symbol of hope for children in the Theresienstadt concentration camp. The orphanage was dissolved in 1942 and the building was occupied by the Hitler Youth.
The Lauder Schools of Prague in Prague were founded in 1997. The Lauder elementary school was established first, followed by the opening of the secondary school in 1999. These schools were established as a joint project of the Jewish community of Prague and the Ronald S. Lauder Foundation. In 2009, the high school was expanded to an eight-year course, and the Gan Yehuda kindergarten was opened at the same time.
