Bilingual education
Currently, in the 5-year preparatory class of the high school, in addition to the 15 English lessons, students also study physical education and digital culture in English in 3 lessons per week. From the next academic year onwards, they will have acquired the same language skills as students in the four-year program.
In addition to 3 English lessons a week, history, digital culture, and civilization in the target language help to develop their knowledge and skills in all 4 grades, complemented by biology and geography in grades 9 and 10, which are replaced by science in grade 11.
The language proficiency level to be achieved in bilingual education is B2 in grade 10 and C2 in grade 12. We aim to give our students the language skills they need to succeed in any university in the world.
How to apply to our high school?
There are two ways to join our high school:

Admission to our high school classes is continuous There is also the possibility to join our school during the year
Students who finish their studies in grade 8 at the Maarif Hungarian-English Bilingual Primary and High School in the same year do not need to take an entrance examination for grade 9. Admission is based on the results achieved in the 7th and 8th grades. In calculating points, grades in Hungarian language and literature, mathematics, history, English, and one science subject are taken into account. The total score is 60, the minimum score for admission is 48. In English, the expected language level for admission to the 9th grade is KER B1.

Calculation of points
a, academic points gained - 50 points
The marks obtained in Hungarian language, Hungarian literature, history, foreign language and mathematics are calculated on the basis of the sum of the marks obtained at the end of the 7th grade and the mid-term of the 8th grade, up to a maximum of 50 points.
b, central points in the written tests (Hungarian language and literature, mathematics) - 100 points
The sum of the marks for the two essays is 100 points maximum. If the student has been exempted from one of the subjects, his/her score in the other subject will be doubled. If he/she has a partial exemption, his/her marks will be apportioned and rounded up.
For each course offered, we conduct motivational interviews in Hungarian and English, where we measure the applicant's motivation, communication skills and general level of literacy - this does not count towards the admission score.
The interview is scheduled for 12 March 2025 (Wednesday) at 10:00.
Admission ranking will be determined according to the scores obtained. In the event of a tie, preference will be given to the student whose sibling is a pupil at the school.
Students with special educational needs cannot be admitted on the basis of the school's Pedagogic Programme and the School's Operating Licence!
Following successful admission, a written English language assessment will be carried out, probably in mid-August, and the student will be placed in course 5001 or 5002. You will find all the information on our website, which is constantly updated.
The acceptance of qualifications obtained abroad:
The recognition of foreign qualifications for the purposes of further education is the responsibility of the high school to which the student applies. The calculation of the number of points to be taken into account in the procedure must be agreed individually with the principal of the school. For certificates obtained abroad, a certified translation into Hungarian is required
