After long preparations, AIC launched its programme of visits to the Library of the Hungarian Parliament in mid-February 2023. Our first group of nine high school students and three teachers set off after their lessons to visit the 150-year-old, grandiose library, where they were given a half-hour summary on books on Hungarian and international law, political science, history, their lending facilities, a brief history of the library, and then a memorable walk in a place in an atmosphere that could provide a quality learning environment for some of our high school students after they turn 18. From the [...]

AIC welcomed its very first job shadowing activity when an Italian colleague Alessia Montanucci spent a week with us from 30 Jan until 3 February. Alessia came from Marsciano in Umbria from the Salvatorelli-Moneta high school. She is also the Erasmus coordinator of her school where she teaches English and where two of our 5 Italian Erasmus students are coming from, Luca and Noemi.

She did not only observe the classes but also held English classes for [...]

The Budapest Market Hall is a must-see for anyone visiting Budapest. It is an open-air market that sells goods from all over the world.

Each week, millions of people travel to Budapest for business or pleasure. They have a memorable time at the market [...]

Some of our students with experience in ice skating enjoyed the activity, gliding gracefully on the ice; but our Physical Education and Sport teacher helped those students with no prior experience to get a hang of this sport. It is not easy ice skating for the first time; it will take a while to get there. This classic pastime is full of thrills [...]
