REAL School Budapest is a not-for-profit British international school for children aged 5 to 14 (kindergarten to year 8) in Budapest. It follows the English National Curriculum and is COBIS accredited. Founded in 2019 by Barna and Viktória, it blends content with skills, mindset and adaptability through project-based, cross-curricular learning. The school is licensed in Hungary as a primary and middle school and uses REAL School competencies alongside the National Curriculum to guide progress. In the lower school (ages 5–9), literacy and numeracy foundations are built with Read Write Inc and Oxford Reading Tree, while science and humanities are explored through projects. In the upper school (ages 10–14), maths emphasises core skills and problem solving; literacy is linked to Dream to Reality projects; science is taught both as a project and a standalone subject. Weekly excursions and outdoor learning accompany daily teaching. The campus is a repurposed historic factory in Graphisoft Park, Óbuda, with a makerspace, large outdoor spaces and a plant-based Planteen canteen. Real-world projects such as selling products at a nearby market and city filmmaking connect learning with the community.
Brit-Magyar Bilingual School in Hungary serves learners aged 6 to 12 with a bilingual English–Hungarian program. The curriculum combines Hungarian National Core Curriculum with a bilingual framework and Cambridge International accreditation; the school is Cambridge-accredited. English-taught subjects follow the Cambridge framework and are delivered by native English-speaking teachers, while Hungarian instruction aligns with the national curriculum. The aim is a 50/50 split between Hungarian and English lessons, taught through project-based, cross-curricular learning that connects subjects to student interests. Class sizes are capped at 24, and the school day runs 8:00 to 17:00, with Circle Time at 8:30 and last lessons ending around 15:00; after-school care is available until 16:00. Facilities include flexible learning spaces, a gym, and a garden; digital tools and tablets support learning. The program prepares students for studies in Hungarian secondary schools or international institutions, with emphasis on arts, STEAM, and language development. PTA involvement is encouraged.
