DORMITORY

Dear visitors of our website,

We have done our best to get enough information about us and our way of working with students. We hope that this way you will be able to create an image which will help you in making a decision about educating your child in our institution.

For students of our school who don’t live in Budapest, accommodation is possible in two dormitories, one of which is situated near school, in Rozsa street No. 5, while the other one is in the center of the city – Tekelijanum, in Veres Palne street No. 17. In the two dormitories we provide all the necessary conditions for life and work of students. In dormitories we have rooms with three, four and six beds. On every floor there is one common room, three bathrooms and one kitchen.
