We are Moving to a Modern Building

March 04, 2025

The Maarif School in Budapest is taking a major step forward as it prepares to move into a newly renovated, modern building that respects Hungary’s architectural heritage while offering cutting-edge facilities. This transition ensures that the school is not only distinguished by its educational excellence and strong values but also by its state-of-the-art infrastructure, providing an attractive learning environment for students.

"We will start the 2025/26 academic year in a renewed building in Hernád Street (VII. district) in the capital. We offer high-level English education, an inclusive environment, and plenty of smiles to everyone who chooses us as their bilingual primary or high school," said Mustafa Dillioğlu, General Director of Maarif Schools in Hungary.

The new Maarif School will be built in a multi-story, 6,500-square-meter building featuring classrooms, a conference hall, two different sport halls for primary and secondary school stu-dents seperately, a lunch hall and canteen, specialized laboratories for biology, chemistry, and physics. Keeping pace with modern technological demands, the school will have a dedicated robotics and coding lab, while students with an interest for humanities can benefit from lan-guage, music, and drama studios. The building's reconstruction is currently underway, but it will not affect the start of the new school year in September, as all work is set to be completed on schedule.

The Turkish Maarif Foundation's bilingual Hungarian-English school has been operating in Budapest’s 19th district for five years, with 74 students enrolled for the 2024/25 academic year. The new building at Hernád Street will provide a modern and comfortable learning environ-ment for up to 450 students. The school aims to increase the number of students while provid-ing an excellent quality education. All teachers at the school are Hungarian, highly qualified, and mul-tilingual. Small class sizes provide an opportunity for individualized development, whether it involves helping students catch up or nurturing their talents.

The school at Budapest is part of the Turkish Maarif Foundation's network, which has 477 educational institutions in more than 50 countries, serving over 50,000 students worldwide. As a result, students in Budapest have the unique opportunity to participate in competitions and camps hosted by Maarif Schools in other countries.

There is an international student environment in Maarif School. All students study six out of twelve subjects in English. The school does not provide religious education; instead, students attend ethics classes. In a way that is unique in the country, students can take extracurricular classes to learn Turkish language or choose special activities such as archery or ebru – traditio-nal Turkish paper marbling.
