The learning environment is a historical factory building repurposed to meet the needs of our pedagogy. It is a source of inspiration for environmentally-friendly solutions, including the materials used day to day. The school has large, multi-purpose spaces, upcycled furniture, and technology. The playground is co-designed by the children and is a living garden of play reflecting creativity, sustainability, and stewardship. The campus is located in Graphisoft Park, Óbuda, Budapest, next to the Danube river, offering access to green spaces and urban learning opportunities. From selling products at a nearby market to learning regeneration at a repair café to making films in the city streets, students see their learning come alive in the community.
Children have direct access to a large green space for free play. The great outdoors is a big outdoor space where learning happens outside and in all weather. The Danube river and Óbudai Island are nearby, providing opportunities for exploration and outdoor activities.
The makerspace is a container workshop where ideas take shape. It is a space of imagination where children discover that their ideas matter because they can bring them to life. From crafting objects to prototyping student projects, every activity blends creativity, critical thinking, and skill, turning dreams into reality. Lunches and snacks are prepared on-site in The Planteen canteen, serving plant-based meals that are seasonal and flavorful.
Real-life, project-based learning includes activities such as selling products at a nearby market, learning regeneration at a repair café, and making films in the city streets.
