What parents say about ISB

“ISB was love at first sight. We were looking for a school which offered an enabling environment for children, namely where they can unlock the potential, and where they are happy. And we found the place.”
ZSUZSA / Middle School Parent
“I really like the ‘star of the month’ award which is given out to two children per class every month, in front of the whole school assembly. It’s given out for the competency of the month, such as being polite, or respectful, for empathy, for perseverance. I think it’s a great highlight: to guide the children to become decent human beings.”
ESZTER K. / Elementary School Parent
“The most important criteria was when we were looking for a school, the appropriate school for our child that we wanted to have a bilingual school that runs the Hungarian and the English curriculum at the same time and also be children centric.”
KATALIN / Elementary School Parent
“We joined ISB three years ago. During this period the school has been improving rapidly. And to be honest, even exceeded our expectations.”
VITALIY / High School Parent
“The reason we chose ISB is because we wanted a school where we have native speaker teachers. So, it was very important for us that our son learns good English, which he did actually within a year.”
ESZTER C. / Middle School Parent
“What I especially like about the school’s education style is that if a child may be a little behind or not progressing as fast in the curriculum as other students, teachers deal with that child individually, provide personal support to them.”
BENCE / Elementary School Parent
“My child has been studying at ISB for nearly two years. He has made a great progress in all aspects, especially his level of English. This made him more confident and more optimistic than before. Thanks, ISB!”
BECKY / High School Parent
