We hope that our website and this information will give you a taste of our school to help you decide if Brit-Magyar is for you. It is a very exciting time to join us because as a new, developing school you will have opportunities to contribute to the educational model and to be creative in developing a Hungarian / International curriculum. You will gain an understanding of the Hungarian Education System, the Hungarian National curriculum, the Cambridge International curriculum and using your experience, help to build a unique program that integrates all of these.
As a Hungarian state registered school, we follow the public-school system. However, unlike other bilingual schools in Hungary, we have a diverse staff body, with members originating from Hungary, UK, USA, Canada and South Africa. All of these practitioners influence our pedagogy, our curriculum and our ethos. This has resulted in us creating something very special and unique.
Hungarian, Chinese, American, British, South African, Danish, Russian and Malaysian nationals currently represent our student body, supporting our international ethos and vision to nurture our children to become global citizens.
Our school currently has grades 1-7 with grade 8 opening in September 2024. In the same year we will open the High School that offers grades 9 to 12. So, you will join a small family of friendly children, supportive colleagues and parents, where you will quickly be made to ‘feel at home’ and part of our community.
