Schools for the elite: the most expensive high schools in Hungary

More and more parents are in favour of private schools today, and not only if their children need special education. Although some of the private institutions are affordable, there are still some which are only available to the wealthy. The international institutions are the most expensive, while the Hungarian ones usually cost 1 million HUF per year. Eduline.hu made a collection of these schools in Hungary.

American International School of Budapest

AISB has been the most expensive institution in Hungary for years. The school, which is located in Nagykovácsi, was originally founded by the Embassy of the United States to provide education for those children whose parents worked at the embassy. Although this system has since changed, 80% of the students are children of foreign citizens, most probably because the tuition fee is 5 million HUF per year.

British International School

The BIS in Óbuda is also popular among diplomats and businessmen. The tuition fee is lower in the first two years, but it’s still almost 5 million HUF per year, but students receive a certificate that is accepted internationally.

Britannica International School

The Britannica International School accepts primary schoolers as well, and promises a British style education with Hungarian and foreign teachers. The annual tuition fee depends on the students’ age – it varies between 2.8-3.8 million HUF. Students have to take their GCSEs at the age of 16, and their A level exams at the age of 18.

Greater Grace International School

GGIS is located in District XII and prepares students for the standard school leaving exam of the United States. The annual tuition fee varies between 1.5 and 3.7 million HUF. GGIS accepts kindergarten aged children as well.
