BIS BUDAPEST’S ADMISSIONS REQUIREMENTS

ENTRY CRITERIA AND APPLICATION PROCESS

The British International School Budapest is open to children aged 3-18. We accept applications all year round and new students can start at any time.

We’re proud to be a fully inclusive school. We have an outstanding team of learning support specialists who provide for a range of needs. Their capacity is limited, however, so please let us know if your child has any additional educational requirements when you first get in touch with us.

Every family’s application process is different, so we’d encourage you to speak to our friendly admissions team to find out how it’ll work for you. They’ll answer any questions about BISB's entry requirements and make sure you have the information you need.

As part of our admissions requirements, you’ll also need to send us the following documents:

A copy of your child’s passport.
Your child’s most recent school reports (last two years, in English).
A copy of your child’s immunisation record.

ASSESSMENT AND INTERVIEW

Once we’ve received your application and documents, our admissions team will invite your child to take part in an age-appropriate assessment and/or interview.

Early Years to Year 2

We’ll invite your child into class to meet our teachers and spend some time with their peers. This observational visit also enables our staff to assess your child’s learning preferences and abilities. All children need to be out of nappies/diapers.

Years 3-9

We ask prospective students to complete an online cognitive ability test. If English is not your child’s first language, we’ll invite them to take an English assessment.

Year 10

Your child will be asked to complete an online cognitive ability test. If English is not their first language, we’ll invite them to sit an English assessment. Your child will also be asked about their IGCSE subject choices.

Year 12

Prospective students need to complete an online cognitive ability test, a maths assessment, and an English test. Once we have the results of these assessments, your child may then be asked to an interview with our Head of Secondary, where we’ll discuss subject choices for the IB Diploma. This may lead to further assessments in the subjects chosen.
