The founding of the Austrian School of Budapest

The Austrian School Budapest was founded within the framework of a cultural agreement signed in 1989 between the Republic of Austria and the then Hungarian People’s Republic in order to promote and deepen cultural relations between the two countries.

At the request of the Hungarian side, the Austrian Realgymnasium was chosen as the type of school, with Hungarian language and literature as well as Hungarian history included in the curriculum. At the end of their education, students receive an Austrian school-leaving certificate, which is recognized in Hungary without nostrification.
