описание на организацията:

Közgazdasági Politechnikum Alternatív Gimnázium is an independent, non-state secondary grammar school located in the Hungarian capital city, Budapest, educating about 500 students from the age of 12 to 20 by the lead of 45 teachers. It was founded in 1990 and is maintained by an NGO, Budapest Polytechnic Foundation, offering a comprehensive academic program supplemented with an entrepreneurial curriculum to students.
Its aims are:
• to provide a positive, democratic and friendly environment with various extra-curricular programs and opportunities for all students, including those with special needs and with foreign background in order to support their personal and professional development;
• to develop their many-folded skills - humanities, sciences, foreign languages, ICT, sports, entrepreneurship;
• to educate young people committed to solidarity, inclusion, thus actively contributing to a more tolerant society;
• to foster their active citizenship and intercultural dialogue in Europe by organizing national and transnational partnership programs (school strategic partnerships, e-Twinning, youth exchanges, European Voluntary Service/European Solidarity Corps).
We have students from different socio-economic backgrounds and students with special needs/educational difficulties as well - they follow a personal development plan with the lead of our psychologist and special education teachers. There is a small number of students with foreign backgrounds. We think all our students can profit from the diversity when learning tolerance and accepting cultural differences.
When assessing students’ achievements, we put emphasis on the descriptive evaluation of their progress and not on marks.
Besides general academic subjects, special attention is paid to teaching business and economics, foreign languages and ICT. There is a special school year when students focus on learning English and to courses on citizenship, environmental and health education, computer studies. The other foreign languages taught in our school are German, French and Italian.
The school also has several extracurricular programs:
● Tolerance Day (interactive workshops in the areas of drug prevention, environment protection, sustainable development, civil rights, ethnic minorities, problems of the physically disabled, etc.),
● Urban Ecological Project and Forest School,
● Project Days (for each grade in a different area in history, arts, media, science, business),
● Spring Arts Festival (festival and contests in literature, films, music and drama), special sport programs, sensitizing program for physically and/or mentally disabled children of special education schools, etc.)
We have had numerous international projects in Comenius School Partnership and Individual Pupil Mobility program, in Youth in Action programs. Moreover, we have had other, non-funded student exchange programs with French, Swedish, Slovenian, Dutch and Italian schools. We have had 9 eTwinning projects, including two awarded the national and EU Quality Labels in 2012 and 2018.
Our school has also been active in Erasmus+ program: since 2014 we have managed 2 KA1 staff mobility projects, 1 EVS project as partners, 16 KA1 youth exchanges (4 as applicants and 12 as partners) and 7 KA2 school partnerships either as coordinators or partners. Last but not least, we have been the beneficiaries of a project in the Europe for Citizens – European Remembrance program. With all these projects, our goal is to encourage intercultural communication among our students and young people from other European countries, and by these we would like to increase their social awareness and responsibility as well.
Summing up, the main objective of our institution is to provide various means of both formal and non-formal education to students by different activities so that they could become open minded, tolerant adults with many-folded skills and competences.
