4worldlovers:
We are a unique institution in Budapest: a mini British school, running an innovative programme for students who attend non-English speaking schools. ESB allows children to gain all the benefits that the Hungarian education system offers, but combines this with a British education.


Our school was founded with a basic principle in mind: the very best combination of British and Hungarian education.


Every single teacher in our school is a native English speaker. This helps children getting familiar with the perfect pronunciation but teachers also bring in their own unique cultural elements to the classroom.

We teach English Language and Literacy to children aged 4 to 18. There are classes for second language learners (all levels), native speaker children (all ages) and exam classes (B2 & C1) for teenagers.


ESB has two school locations: in II district at 2-4 Tárogató út which is at the bottom of Hüvösvölgyi út, close to Pasaréti tér and the Budagyöngye shopping centre. The second location is at Apor Vilmos Ter in district XII, close to MOM shopping centre.

We are proud to have a teaching staff that is young, enthusiastic and very, very friendly!

Full time dedicated, qualified teachers - our unique strength is that our team can fully focus on teaching only

Teachers are continuously trained throughout the year - our staff are coached by Hungary's leading thinker, speaker and trainer who has a great knowledge about teaching second language students

We are specialists, dedicated to teaching English only - our curriculum, support materials, staff are all chosen with this speciality in mind. We are experts at what we do. Teaching children English is the only thing we do!

Lisa Gillespie is Canadian born and after graduating in the USA, moved to London to teach the National Curriculum for England. Since 2017 Lisa is part of the ESB team!

I have a passion for teaching young learners and I truly believe that each child is a unique individual and deserves the chance to learn and explore all the different things our world has to offer!

Students will find every material readily available to further deepen their knowledge.

We use a progressive reading programme that provides complete support for primary reading

Several programmes are organised over the year to allow a broader range of experiences through events, typical of a UK school.

Hello! We are looking forward to meeting you in person – until then, here is our short introduction.

Let us show you how we can help besides teaching English!

Be recognised for what they believe, not how they express their beliefs

We know it is not easy. Read our director's message for you

Through our years of experience, we learned what parents are struggling with… and we are here to help!

As a father of 5 children my main parental role has been the family taxi driver. Barely appreciated by my 5 loyal clients and not even a hint of a tip!

Although they have now grown up, the weekly schedule of trying to plan everybody’s after school schedule was a challenge. Football, fencing, folk dancing and a continuing list of absolutely “Daddy, I have to go to…” activities, all impossibly available for the same afternoon. We taxi drivers are stressed!!

At ESB we recognise these dilemmas and have 20 different classes from Monday to Saturday at two different locations to give parents the greatest number of options.

Our classrooms at Tarogato u ( II) and Apor Vilmos ter ( XII) are planned to be no more than 10 minutes drive from your Buda home or school. Of course we will recommend which classes are best for your children but importantly, there is a choice.

Squeezing in yet another extra curricular activity for your children is not easy but we are happy to help!

Our locations at 2nd and 12nd district were carefully selected with the purpose of not being more then 10 minutes drive from your local Buda home or school.

We offer 20 different classes from Monday to Saturday at 2 locations to give parents the greatest number of options.

4worldlovers: At Apple Tree Kindergarten and Nursery, we have been providing high quality English-language education and care for children aged 16 months to 6 years since 2012.


Our native English speaking and qualified Hungarian teachers follow a carefully designed curriculum developed by our own international research; covering practices used in Great Britain, the US and Hungary. We prepare our children to enter any school system, let it be International or Hungarian.


Love of nature and an awareness of our environment are emphasized and integral parts of the curriculum at Apple Tree Kindergarten and Nursery. Children are actively involved in maintaining our fruit trees, our vegetable patch and our flowerbeds. We teach children about recycling and composting. We re-use materials and dispose of organic waste by feeding it to our compost.


We are located in an elegant villa with safe, secure and suitable facilities in the heart of Buda with easy access from the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 5th and 12th districts by car and by public transportation.

Our facilities include spacious classrooms with lots of natural sunlight, a very well equipped gymnasium, a children's library, a piano room and a speech therapy room.

We have a beautiful, grassy garden with fruit trees and a small vegetable patch for the children to use. The playground includes swings, two sand boxes, a barefoot exploration area, a climbing wall, a running track, a bike riding area, four play houses, a jungle gym and a slide. There is a separate outdoor play area adjoining the young nursery classroom exclusively for the littlest children.

Apple Tree provides English language childcare and education. There are two teachers in each classroom at all times – a native English speaker and a Hungarian qualified kindergarten teacher who is fluent in English.
