Languages
The Brit-Magyar Bilingual Elementary and Middle School is a private institution in Budapest that combines the Hungarian National Curriculum with international teaching methodologies. It serves students aged 6 to 14 through an immersion-based bilingual programme delivered by native-speaking teachers.
Curriculum
Teaching approach
The school believes that a successful adulthood is built upon a loving and supportive childhood. It rejects the pressure of traditional, stressful educational systems in favour of a coaching-based approach where teachers act as supporters to help each child reach their individual potential. The school emphasizes the development of thinking skills, creativity, and flexible problem-solving abilities within a safe and happy environment.
Programmes
The school follows the Hungarian National Core Curriculum (NAT) and a bilingual framework curriculum, enriched by international best practices. Instruction is delivered by native-speaking teachers from countries including the UK, USA, Ireland, Canada, and South Africa. In addition to core subjects, the curriculum includes English-taught modules such as target-language civilisation, digital culture, natural sciences, and visual culture. From Year 7, the school offers specific preparation for secondary school entrance examinations.
Outcomes
The school aims to develop independent learners who possess strong academic foundations in both Hungarian and English. Through continuous monitoring based on the Cambridge Assessment English system, the school targets a C1–C2 level of language proficiency for most students by the end of Year 8. Furthermore, the school provides dedicated preparation classes for secondary school entrance examinations to ensure students are well-prepared for their next stage of education.
Student support
Learning support
The school employs a learning-centred approach that prioritizes individual development, allowing students to progress at their own pace. Small class sizes and the division of language lessons into four proficiency groups ensure that students receive tailored attention. For students entering with minimal English, the school offers a 'Fast Track Extra English' programme to help them reach the required proficiency for the bilingual curriculum.
