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.
