Who are we?

We are a private, non-profit, tuition-based educational enterprise operating in Hungarian state and private educational institutions since 2001. We operate our nationally accredited program in six primary schools, one high school, and four kindergartens in Budapest and its environs.

We offer an innovative approach to teaching, including the interactive and communicative approach favored in EFL environments as well as Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) in our subject lessons at all grade levels and in the kindergarten.

As such, we co-teach: teachers hold lessons jointly and alternate in the leading role, switching languages throughout the lesson. So students study simultaneously in both English and Hungarian.

We benchmark externally with Cambridge language exams, and we are also innovative in terms of technology, integrating various online learning platforms in our classrooms.
