Great Grace
International School

GGIS is a private, English language international school located in Budapest’s beautiful twelfth district. Founded in 1991, it is one of the city’s premier international schools, serving students from kindergarten to the 12th grade.
A Word from the Director
"Respond Instead of React!" "Better Together!" "I Get to be Me, You Get to Be You!" These are some of the catchphrases our students learn school-wide as we delve into friendship skills and social skills from a biblical worldview. In chapel, we cover strategies students can use to help them be "quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry" as James 1:19 teaches. Elementary students are awarded "Friendzy tickets" when they are observed helping those in need and being a true friend. 
It seems to be working! A parent who recently took a tour said that she chose GGIS because of the atmosphere they experienced during their visit. "This includes both the teachers and the students - the way they interact and conduct themselves. It felt like this school treats children not just as students but as part of a family. The care they show goes beyond simply teaching or praising - they also help children learn important life skills." I fully agree and am honored to be part of such a wonderful team of educators.

Blessings,

School Highlights

We are a vibrant and caring international community

The Christian principles of respect and inclusion are the foundation of the vibrant and caring international community at GGIS. Students from many countries and diverse faiths attend GGIS, bringing with them their unique cultures and perspectives.

This diversity makes our classrooms a place where students learn life skills that will serve them their entire lives: empathy, appreciating differences and an understanding of differing perspectives. This intercultural exchange along with the respect and care we have for each other causes many who attend to say “We are like a family around here.”

School Highlights

Founded on Christian principles.

There are many ways to perceive and understand the world in which we live. GGIS has, from its founding in 1991, looked at life from the perspective of the Bible. This miraculous collection of 66 books written by over 40 authors over a period of 1500 years provides a framework, a unified field of knowledge, from which all science, linguistics, history and mathematics and human relationships can be understood and applied.

Since much of the world’s legal, societal, medical and economic principles have been derived from the Old and New Testaments, GGIS education includes the study of the Bible not simply as a religious book but as a book that is vital to understanding the real world in which we all live.

"Dear Friends... It is clearly etched in my mind how your school's Christian democratism and noble internationalism guide now Hungary-based children from countries ranging from American to Asia in the spirit of pure intellect and mutual respect. Convinced that no nobler unity can be created than what you have achieved within the walls of your school, I ask for God's help for your praiseworthy endeavor."

“With great teachers, efficient supporting of performance and environments based on Christianity, GGIS provides best education opportunities. I am very happy to send my two kids in GGIS.”

"Discipline is gentle but firm in all areas, and we felt this to be equally important in a world where respect is not always promoted. Not surprisingly, toward the end of our stay, we were joined by some other embassy parents who all said, "if only we had known about your program earlier!"
John & Marija Fogarasi

Parent

“We can send our children to school with reassurance because the students are kind and the teachers give each and every student attention and teach through love. Our children enjoy going to school, and they are proud to be a part of Facilities the school. The school can be easily reached with public transportation, which is very convenient. GGIS is a school that respects the cultures of countries all around the world, and teachers teach students through the Teachers Christian perspective. I deeply encourage and recommend parents to send their children to GGIS.”
