Practice and learn Windows Server 2003 at home.

The above statement seems pretty fair - while the basic principles of Active Directory have not changed much the later OSs all have their various refinements - it would seem sensible to learn the most recent version.
To virtualise a 64bit OS such as 2008R2 or 2012 you will need a 64bit machine and host OS such as Win7(64) or Win8(64) and a BIOS that supports virtualisation - and of course you need enough memory to support both the host OS and any guest OSs that you plan to run.

There is a trial version of windows 2003 available. You can test the windows server for free. Check out the following webpage for further details.
If you don't have a spare PC, you might try to install it in a virtual PC. I have successfully installed windows 2003 server trial in a VirtualBox on a notebook running Windows XP.
