Do you want your child to receive a Hungarian education but are not satisfied with the current school options?
ESB is starting a new International Bilingual daytime school from September 2018 in the 11th district, on Bocskai ut. The school will be set up for grades 1-8 but in the first year we offer classes in grades 1-4. Currently we are working towards gaining accreditation from CIE (Cambridge International Exams). We will work with the Hungarian curriculum for Hungarian literature, grammar, science and maths but the remainder of the subjects will be taught in English using the Cambridge International school curriculum. English will be the main language of the school. Our programme will be taught half in English and half Hungarian.
In all subjects ESB will utilise international teaching methodology to target skill development rather than simply knowledge. ESB’s approach will be child centred learning, focussing on the students learning skills and needs, raher than the traditional frontal method. Our priority will be to provide a safe and caring environment so that students feel confident to learn, explore, take risks, make and learn from mistakes.
The expected result is that students will be able to apply for the best Hungarian high schools or international schools. ESB will ensure students are equipped for that choice through high quality teaching, and modern facilities and resources.
Viewpoints
Samu started attending ESB 6 months ago. He was a complete beginner at the time. Now he speaks in sentences and has a vocabulary of several hundred words. In six months he’s made incredible progress, while also having fun and making new friends.

“Our daughter was a little shy when joining ESB, having had very basic English – but she liked the classes from the first moment. After 5 months she is making steady progress and starts to be able to express herself. ESB seems to create good motivation for them and the various activities built around the themes covered keep the children’s interest.”
