Real-life learning, for a new REALity

Real-life learning involves students in real-world activities to find their passions, develop skills, and learn about the world and themselves. 

For a new REALity stands for our ambition to equip children for the world they will inherit and to inspire them to create a future where all can thrive.

The REAL School story

The founding team has spent years at Green School Bali and got completely heartwashed. In 2019, they brought the inspiration and adapted it to an urban and European cultural setting in Budapest.

Listen to the REAL School founder tell the story of why the school has come to life and what and how it intends to achieve.

How will your child learn?

We believe that the best way to prepare students for the real world is to be fully engaged in it, now.

What will your child learn?

A learning experience rooted in Academics, Nature, Smart tech, Wellbeing, Entrepreneurship, and Regeneration - inspiring and empowering students to dream and build a beautiful world.

Why project-based learning?

Authentic project-based learning (PBL) is at the heart of the learning experience at REAL School. We call this process "Dream to Reality." Research shows that PBL enhances academic achievement, deepens understanding, and builds essential 21st-century skills like critical thinking, problem-solving, and collaboration. (PBLWorks). And it's way more fun!

I love the feeling of excitement I get in the morning of taking her to school, knowing she will have a superb day and will experience so many new things. At the same time, I have the peace of mind that I leave her in a caring and loving environment.
