We are an English school in the heart of Buda, which provides an English-speaking environment for primary and secondary school children by offering them a variety of sessions with native speaking English teachers, supplementing their formal school education.
Budapest Afterschool was founded by two mothers, Melanie and Marianna, in 2016 who wanted the best of both worlds for their children. With two daughters, one second language learner and one native-level English speaker, both attending the Hungarian school system, they wanted to create an afternoon school that helped strengthen and nurture children’s academic English while still letting them experience living in Hungary (and for Hungarians to experience a little slice of Britain). They set out to create a school and a community that they would be happy for their child to be a part of, both as educationalists and – more importantly – as parents themselves.
The curriculum, designed by Ms Melanie herself, is a perfect mix of the national curriculum for England and Wales and the unique needs of expat native speaker children. The cross-curricular approach and the teachers engaging and hands-on teaching method ensures that our English as Second Language learners will also consider English more than just a “useful school subject”.

Our aim is to give children, who may be attending more traditional content and test-centred schools, access to a different style of learning which encourages them to be pro-active and develops their cognitive and creative skills alongside their English.
Teaching Materials are taken from the best available from British and American providers.
Classes are 90 minutes long on the weekday afternoons, in small groups in our beautiful central Buda location.
Meet the amazing team at Pasaréti út 12/B! All our teachers are English native speaker teacher practitioners, who believe that good teaching is based on good relationships with the children, as much as creative child-centred activities and thorough planning.
We are always looking forward to meeting new people! Learn more about our teaching opportunities and let us know if you would be interested in joining us as an English native speaker teacher in Budapest for first and second language students.
Our school calendar follows the school year of Hungarian schools. We give out reports in January and June and schedule family events throughout the year and Summer Camps in June and July.

“Our son has grown hugely in confidence in speaking English and has greatly expanded his vocabulary from his classes at BAS over the past 2 years. He has benefitted from exposure to a stimulating range of subjects and new ideas – and has made good friends. It has been great!”
The Budapest Afterschool has been one of the most fantastic decisions we’ve made for our child. He is growing up with three languages which has been very difficult on him. Prior to joining the school he was barely speaking at all, saying at most just a few words. He was also extremely shy any time someone tried to speak to him. After just the first few months of attending, our son began to turn in to a chatter box and started to actively respond and speak to people. His English speaking continues to strengthen and the school has now become his favourite part of the week.
The staff employs multiple ways of engaging with the children, teaching them through interaction and via various activities that has them excited before, during and after the classes. They also host multiple events which provide opportunities for both networking and continuing exposure to the language outside of a classroom setting for the kids. And lest I forget to mention it is staffed by some of the loveliest people we’ve had the privilege of getting to know since we moved here!
