\n<\/strong>International Programme<\/strong>ISB offers a full international programme alongside its bilingual programmes. In particular the school can offer the opportunity for non-Hungarian speaking children to learn Hungarian and find out more about the country that they are living in.\u00a0 This is a great chance to pick up an official EU language.
\n <\/p>\n
Bilingual Programme<\/strong><\/p>\n The bilingual programme offers students the opportunity to study the full Hungarian curriculum as well as experience an international based education to develop English skills taught by native speaker teachers.\u00a0\u00a0 Growing in popularity is the Advanced Bilingual programme which enables students to have a more international\/English-based programme as well as core lessons in Hungarian Language\/Literature and mathematics. For both of these programmes students must be fluent in Hungarian. Teaching<\/strong><\/p>\n Many teachers have been at ISB for a long time giving the school stability, whilst at the same time the school can draw on the new ideas of those starting there in August.\u00a0 This blend allows ISB to build on its well-established programmes from Prep through to Grade 8. (Year 1 to Year 9 in England). ISB\u2019s international teachers come from the UK, USA and New Zealand. Extra-curricular Programmes<\/strong><\/p>\n The school has an extensive after-school programme.\u00a0 Basic supervision is covered in the school fee and a wide range of activities are offered on a subscription basis: Cooking, chess, football, art and crafts, dance, swimming, piano, guitar, drama and more. Last year ISB held its first open chess tournament for young children building on the internal tournaments it has held over the past few years. Vision<\/strong><\/p>\n ISB is a long-established international and bilingual school with a very clear vision for its own development. The vision is based around the three pillars of providing:<\/p>\n 1.\u00a0Excellent teaching. This third aspect makes ISB a unique school in Hungary. Facilities<\/strong><\/p>\n The main school building houses Science, Music, Art and computer facilities, a theatre, and a very well-stocked library. All the main teaching rooms are equipped with data-projectors and access to interactive whiteboard facilities. There is a playground next to the school building. On the campus site there is a sports hall and extensive playing field areas which are used for sports activities.<\/p>\n Special events<\/strong><\/p>\n Special celebrations and projects are held throughout the year, such as International Week, Sports Day and Book Week. Day trips and residential trips are also a feature of school life, which include the Middle School residential trip to the UK.<\/p>\n Step Into English<\/strong><\/p>\n The school offers an English language course from late September to early May for children who would be enrolled in the following year. This programme is aimed at building up the children\u2019s communication and study skills in English as well as familiarising them with the school.

\nISB\u2019s Prep classes offer a bridge between Kindergarten and school introducing basic literacy and numeracy skills.\u00a0 Many children attend the International Prep class to build up their English skills and others to develop their Hungarian whilst preparing for Grade 1.<\/p>\n
\nThe ELL (English Language and Literature) scheme is a core element of all of the school\u2019s education programmes. This has been developed to meet the needs of a wide range of language abilities drawing on resources commonly used in the UK and US.
\nAll the main teaching rooms are equipped with data-projectors and have the option of interactive whiteboard facilities.\u00a0 Use is made of digital technology to encourage and enhance communication skills.<\/p>\n![\"Image\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.budapesttimes.hu\/images\/stories\/News\/20110902\/MR24B.jpg?resize=390%2C260\" "\\"Image\\"")

\nLast May the school\u2019s Middle School football team participated in an international tournament in Poland and plans to go to Bucharest this coming year.\u00a0 Throughout the year the school aims to have competitive matches for all age groups.
\nOver the years ISB has developed its performing arts, taking advantage of the large multi-purpose room complete with full-size stage, lighting and sound system. All children get the opportunity to perform at regular assemblies and the school also puts on\u00a0 longer performances. Children taking piano lessons take part in piano recitals.
\nLast year Grades 5 and 6 visited London and the South Coast whilst Grade 7 and 8 went to Berlin. Visits like these and local ones are an important feature of the school\u2019s programme aimed at broadening the students\u2019 learning experience and are closely linked to the curriculum.
\nEach February the school organises a ski trip for its children and their families.
\nMost important of all, ISB continues to deliver high standards of education, especially in English Language and Literacy in a stimulating, challenging, supportive and friendly environment.<\/p>\n
\n2.\u00a0A safe inclusive and stimulating environment for learning,
\n3.\u00a0Two linked programmes: international and bilingual education.<\/p>\n
\nThe school benefits from being in the leafy environment of the Buda hills, surrounded by quiet forest. Classes are small as the school believes in a close, supportive approach to the social and academic development of every one of its students. There is a strong tradition of parental involvement and support. The teachers come from a variety of national backgrounds. They are well qualified, and well experienced for this particular kind of teaching. ISB is a member of the CIS (Council of International Schools).<\/p>\n
\nThe school is committed to providing excellent education at an affordable price.<\/p>\n![\"Image\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.budapesttimes.hu\/images\/stories\/News\/20110902\/MR25B.jpg?resize=390%2C154\" "\\"Image\\"")
