Avicenna high school students from grade 10 visited the Metropolitan Ervin Szabó Library this week. It has been not only a long-cherished goal of the Literature teachers but all of the others to show our teenage students sophisticated learning facilities in the heart of Budapest within an outstanding building, which used to be a Palace (Wenckheim Palace) owned by an aristocrat family in the XIX. century. The library itself started to operate in 1904. The richly ornamented iron gates from the street made us anticipate the magnificent interior of the mainly baroque building. Having loaded the lockers with [...]

In keeping our tradition, AIC took its secondary school students, this time grade pre-9, the language preparation class, on a guided tour held in English to the Hungarian Parliament in October. The group departed from the school after the morning classes. Our students this time were all newcomers, recent arrivals mainly from Iran.  Before the event, as usual, their history teacher, Mr. Mark and English teacher who is also a tour guide, Ms. Monika had prepared them for the sights thematically. Due to this fact, our students found this experience, not just unique and fascinating, but also something [...]

On the 10th of June, we revived the good old tradition of holding a Graduation Ceremony at the Avicenna. During the two years of Covid it wasn’t possible to hold such a high-profile gathering so this year we did it, as a much-anticipated social event. It was a heart-warming sight to see parents and relatives and teachers of our 10 graduating students filling one of our largest classrooms, room 314 on the first floor. So much so that the rest of the AIC students could be seated only in the corridor. The graduating students were led to the [...]

AIC students and a few staff members visited the second biggest theatre in Budapest, the Erkel Theatre to see The Nutcracker

AIC held its second graduation ceremony for the 12th-grade students of the International High School Program (2016-2021) On Monday (15.06.2021). This year was full of isolation for many, therefore we were extremely happy to be able to organize this event. It wasn’t just for our graduates, but for all of us - our teachers, Student Center members, the parents, and all the other colleagues in Avicenna. Even though the high school graduation ceremony was based on the traditional Hungarian "ballagás", it was a little more. Our respected President and Principal handed the flowers personally to the graduates, along with our own [...]
