About ISB

The International School of Budapest (ISB) is one of the largest private English-Hungarian bilingual international schools in Budapest, providing international education for students aged 5 to 18 across preparatory, primary and secondary school.

ISB is a registered Cambridge International School, an IB World School and a registered Hungarian private school. We combine internationally recognised educational programmes with a caring, student-centred approach, creating an environment where curiosity, creativity, independence and academic growth can thrive.

As we look towards the future, ISB is entering a new four-year strategic planning period, building on the school’s experience while focusing on continued development and sustainable growth. Our strategic plan sets clear priorities for strengthening teaching and learning, enhancing the student and family experience, developing our school community, embracing innovation and technology, and further strengthening ISB’s international identity and position in Budapest.

The plan reflects our ambition to create a modern, inclusive and future-focused school — one that responds to a changing world while staying true to the values at the heart of the ISB community.

2026 also marks ISB’s 30th anniversary, providing an opportunity to celebrate three decades of our community while looking ahead to the next chapter.
