This week, AISB parents gathered for another meaningful Parents in Partnership session, focused on executive functioning and how these skills support children’s learning, independence, and well-being. The workshop offered space for shared understanding, practical strategies, and thoughtful conversation around a topic that touches many families.

This winter, during a period of extreme cold, the Hungarian Service Club helped organize an emergency clothing drive for the Maltese Charity Service. Students stepped in quickly to help with organization and coordination, and AISB families responded with generosity. Within a single day, the drive came together, and over the following days, three full van loads of warm winter clothing and essential items were delivered to people in need across Budapest.

The American International School of Budapest (AISB) is proud to be a pioneer of the Global Impact Diploma (GID) with the unique introduction of the Dual Diploma, which combines the GID and the IB diplomas. These new programs are a testament of our commitment to personalized learning pathways.

Our Elementary, Middle, and High School Counselors led a hands-on parent session to provide high-impact tools for nurturing social-emotional growth. Parents learned how to navigate the complex challenges of nurturing independence, using technology wisely, and maintaining transparent communication around these issues.

We are incredibly proud to celebrate the remarkable success of AISB alumna, Johanna Lengyel (Class of 2017), who won the Hungarian televised singing competition Megasztár last Saturday, November 29!

At the American International School of Budapest, authentic learning often grows from the ground up. Over the past year, students in our Organic Gardening Club embodied a commitment to our mission by transforming a hands-on project into a meaningful, year-long experience. From germinating seeds last spring to building rich, organic soil and sustainably managing pests, students immersed themselves in a long-term inquiry. This outdoor, experiential learning provided them with a broad range of relevant and authentic learning experiences, fostering a sense of ownership and a deep understanding of their natural surroundings.

Ten years ago, in August 2015, the American International School of Budapest (AISB) was privileged to host a truly extraordinary guest: Dr. Jane Goodall, DBE, founder of the Jane Goodall Institute and the Roots & Shoots program. Though she recently passed away, her spirit and powerful message of hope for a sustainable world live on vibrantly in our community, continually shaping our commitment to Global Citizenship and Environmental Stewardship.

AISB''s core mission is to empower learners to build their futures, and that includes navigating the rapidly evolving landscape of artificial intelligence. We recently welcomed Jeff Utecht, a renowned AI in Education specialist, a lifelong educator, and global thought leader, to our campus for a week of collaborative workshops and discussions. His visit was a proactive step in refining our shared approach to AI literacy and ensuring these powerful tools support our goals of Academic Excellence and well-being for the entire community.

On September 17, AISB joined in honoring U.S. Constitution Day, a moment to reflect not only on a historic document, but on the principles of justice, equality, and democracy that continue to shape communities around the world.

At the American International School of Budapest (AISB), our commitment to student-centered learning often takes us beyond the traditional classroom. Sometimes, history finds its way to us, offering a unique and authentic learning experience right at our doorstep. Just a few weeks ago, an extraordinary event unfolded on our new campus grounds, connecting our school to centuries of local heritage.
