Mr. Frank Rowland
Principal, Lower Elementary School
The Elementary School of AISB is divided into two divisions, Lower Elementary, consisting of grades Pre-K - 2, and Upper Elementary, which consists of grades 3-5.
The program is a strong American elementary
school program with Hungarian Culture studies (Pre-Kindergaten
through grade 3) and
an "international attitude" permeating throughout. About one-third
of our students take ESL (English-As-A-Second Language) when
they
first arrive. French, Spanish or German language may be studied
beginning in the fourth grade.
 AISB has two campuses.
The Lower Elementary School or Buda Campus is located at
the corner of Kakukk Ut and Tunder Ut (address: 1-3 Kakukk
Ut, Budapest
1121) and encompasses Pre-K (4 year olds) to Grade 2 (7 year
olds). Grades 3 to 12 are located in a suburb of Budapest at
the Nagykovácsi
Campus (address Nagykovácsi 2094). Approximately 30 percent
of the 352 Elementary students are American, nine percent are
Hungarian
and the remainder from 48 different nationalities. While most
of the teachers come from North America, there are seven nationalities
represented in the teaching staff as well.

Buda. Mr. Frank Rowland

Principal of the Lower Elementary School.
 Grades
3 - 5 are housed at the Nagykovácsi Campus which is located
in the suburbs of Budapest. Ms. Donna Kelley is the Principal

AISB is fully accredited by the Middle States Accrediting Association and the European Council of International School. Lower and Upper Elementary sections each has a well equipped computer lab with the classrooms also having computers in them. Class size is relatively small - 18 per class - and each is carefully planned to give a good representation of our student body. An active After-School-Activities Program is available for Grades 1 - 5 students on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. The school prides itself in having a comprehensive Elementary School Program and providing a warm, nurturing and safe environment for multinational children.
