Introduction to our school
(Budai Csanád fordítása)
We are a small, family-like school.
Our 375 students study in two systems: four and eight grade schooling.
Our goals are the following:
- Forming wide knowledge in a range of fields
- Preparing students for higher education based on individual interests and talents
- Education of students to be a part of their own Christian church community
There are two Religion classes a week built into the timetable, broken into groups (according to denominations) if needed. Every Monday from 7:30 the students and teachers participate in a morning worship in the Deák Square Lutheran church, starting the week in good spirit. The spirituality of our school is encouraged by our school pastor, who holds after-school programmes for the students, such as bible studies, a film club, and a music club.
The language classes are extended by the school exchange programs, in Erfurt, Germany and in Sweden.
Two thirds of our students eat in the school canteen. The youngest are ensured with calm eating conditions, they are given enough time to eat: the 5th and 6th graders have “lunch” periods in their timetables. The students of the 5th and 6th grade have „an active break” after lunch in the nearby park or in the gym.
Half of the students in the four year school system live outside the city, some stay at the Lutheran students’ hall at Rózsák Square.
