St. Miklós Primary School, EGYMI, College and Children's Home

 

 

Our institution is located in Óbuda that is the heart of Budapest’s 3rd district, and it is surrounded by block of houses and green areas as well (Hajógyári Island and Margaret Island). The vicinity of schools, playgrounds, libraries and sports facilities provides recreational and developmental opportunities for our pupils.

 

The St. Miklós Primary School, EGYMI, College and Children's Home is for children with special educational needs (learning disabilities and integrated trainable mentally handicapped and autistic) in school grades 1-8.

 

We believe that the base of the existence and work of our institution is that our pupils with multiply impaired intellect and personality and with a particularly difficult fate get the care tailored to their individual needs.
