About international schools in Hungary
International schools in Hungary are concentrated in Budapest with a smaller number of international and bilingual options elsewhere, and they commonly offer International Baccalaureate, British (IGCSE/A-level), American and European systems alongside Hungarian-language bilingual schools. The most typical language of instruction is English, though German, French and Hungarian bilingual streams are widely available and many schools provide English as an additional language support. Annual tuition in the capital varies widely by curriculum and school size, with published fee sheets and market surveys showing a broad band that equals several thousand to tens of thousands of euros a year once extra charges are included. Admissions normally follow the Hungarian school year with the main intake in August/September, while many schools also accept applications year-round subject to space and assessment requirements.

Curricula
There are 33 international schools in Hungary covering 48 curricula. The most widely offered are Bespoke Curriculum (14), IB (DP) (11), British Curriculum (8), Cambridge IGCSE (7), Advanced Placement (AP) (5). If your child may move countries again, an internationally-portable curriculum (IB, or Cambridge/British) keeps options open; if you're likely to settle, a curriculum matching your home or target university system can be the better fit.

Admissions & timing

Most admissions involve an application, prior school reports and an assessment or interview, with entry points often tied to the school year. Each school's profile shows term dates, open days and how to enquire.

How doris stays impartial
doris lists every international school in Hungary we can find — not only those that pay. We take no placement fees and sell no rankings or "top school" spots, so the schools above aren't ordered by who paid most. Details come from the schools' own information and public sources, and you can compare any of them side by side.
