Introduction

Located in Hungary, Szeged International Primary School serves children aged 5 to 13. The school delivers IPC and IMYC curricula in parallel with the Hungarian National Core Curriculum, with English as the language of instruction across most subjects and Hungarian language and literature taught separately. IPC is used up to Grade 5 and IMYC from Grade 6, supporting a seamless, project‑based approach that develops independent thinking. Small class sizes and a student‑centred ethos enable individualized learning, while Language Arts and Humanities form part of the IPC/IMYC framework. The school day runs 9:00 to 15:00, with after‑care to 17:00 and a range of after‑school activities. The campus offers arts, design and ICT, science, geography, health and wellbeing, and physical education. Extracurriculars include chess, woodshop, science, dance, painting, guitar, Robocode and language clubs. Founded in 2017 by the Kalocsai Krisztina Foundation, it is the region's sole international option for expatriate families in Hungary.
