IB Curriculum International Schools in Budapest, Hungary

Budapest’s IB schools combine the International Baccalaureate continuum (Primary Years, Middle Years and Diploma) with the city’s bilingual and multilingual traditions, so families will commonly find English-medium IB programmes alongside Hungarian-English bilingual streams and options to study German, French or Spanish. Typical annual tuition varies widely: many IB options sit in the roughly HUF 2 - 3.5 million range, while larger international campuses charge HUF 5 million up to around HUF 11 million a year; bilingual state-linked tracks are often several hundred thousand forints cheaper. Admissions follow a school-by-school rhythm but most schools have a main September intake with application windows in late winter/spring; mid-year or rolling entry is possible but usually requires earlier paperwork and assessment. Relocating families should factor in document translation (school reports, birth certificates and vaccination records), possible entrance assessments, and that some Hungarian language provision is included even in English-medium IB schools.
