For non-Hungarian children whose parents' work requires them to stay in Hungary for longer periods, it is important and necessary to learn the Hungarian language as soon as possible in order to be able to fit into life in Hungary. Immersed in the Hungarian language environment, non-Hungarian children can quickly pick up the language as Hungarian is the primary means of communication in our kindergarten. In addition to correcting any speech disorders, our speech therapist has one-on-one Hungarian sessions tailored to the individual needs of non-Hungarian children. With children who are not native speakers of Hungarian, we place great emphasis on helping them to not only understand but to also use the Hungarian language so that regardless of whether the parents select an international or a Hungarian school, these children can be admitted to and start school studies at the same level as their Hungarian peers.


Our education programme places great emphasis getting children to know and enjoy speaking English, on helping them acquire a basic conversational vocabulary and general speech panels as well as teaching them songs and nursery rhymes.

Each kindergarten group has a morning English language session every day. The structure and curriculum of the English classes are based on the special education material specifically developed for children by Oxford University. Using a playful and visual approach, this curriculum helps children learn to enjoy language learning and to have fun using English in their everyday life. The English teacher also takes an active part in the group's afternoon activities and communicates with the children only in English. All this helps to turn the children's initial passive vocabulary into an active one by the end of the children's stay in the kindergarten.
