How to choose a school for your child after emigrating to Hungary?

With the changes of the times, there are more and more immigrants, the main purpose of which is to let children receive better education. After immigration, it is also a big obstacle for parents to choose a school. Today, let's take a look at how to choose schools in Hungary!

Public schools in Hungary

The Hungarian primary school system is eight years, which is equivalent to the first grade of primary school to the second grade of junior high school in China. The first condition for attending public primary schools in Hungary is to pass the language barrier. There are usually no Hungarian preparatory classes in schools, so children need to take extra-curricular language training classes to learn Hungarian.

For children in lower grades, the school usually does not require Hungarian exams, and children can easily integrate into the Hungarian education system. For senior children, the school usually requires a Hungarian test. If you feel that your child's language is not enough, you may need to be downgraded. In order to improve their children's Hungarian level quickly, parents usually strengthen their children's Hungarian ability by signing up for language classes and inviting tutors.

The Hungarian secondary school system lasts for four years, which is equivalent to the third year of junior high school to the third year of senior high school in China. At this stage, if there is no Hungarian foundation, it is more difficult for children to attend Hungarian public high schools, and they need to receive high-intensity Hungarian training after class. When entering the school, the school will test the Hungarian language ability. If the language is not enough, it is difficult to enter public middle schools.

International schools in Hungary

In addition to public primary and secondary schools, there are many international schools in Hungary that teach in pure English or in multiple languages. These international schools offer courses from kindergarten to high school and need to pay tuition fees.

In international primary schools, most schools do not test children's English level in the lower grades, but they need to pass a simple English test in the upper grades. When studying in an international middle school, the school will require a written test of children's English level, and some schools will require an interview. If the language level is not enough, you can be downgraded.

Because the teaching language and daily language of international schools are English/French/German, the teaching methods are more international, and children's creativity and independent thinking ability are cultivated. Some high schools have also introduced the International Bachelor's Degree (IB) course, so children who graduate from international schools have a broader development space in the international community. After graduation, they can directly apply for universities in this country according to the teaching system of international schools.

There are several well-known English or bilingual schools in Hungary, and the annual fees range from 65,438+0,000 euros to 20,000 euros:
