Founded in 1907, Szent László Gimnázium (Secondary Grammar School) is located in Kőbánya, Budapest’s 10th District.
Szent László Gimnázium runs 25 classes with seven specialisations, Italian dual language, English, mathematics, art, chemistry-biology, IT and media. It also offers evening classes for adults. Therefore, approximately 1000 students enrol each year.
Our school is a UNESCO–associated school, which means that we teach a wide range of foreign languages (English, German, Italian, Spanish, Russian, French and Latin), our students take part in many special programmes and competitions on the topic of foreign countries, and many of our students participate in exchange programmes every year. This has become particularly important since Hungary joined the European Union.
The school strives to offer an ideal learning environment for its students. The modern classrooms, the computer rooms, the library, the biology and chemistry laboratories, the two gymnasiums and the sports facilities are all there to make teaching and learning easier and more effective. Our faculty works hard to maintain a high academic standard in order to provide a high quality education.

At a previous Peacecamp :-)
Hi, my name is Szilvia Kneusel and I am the co-ordinating teacher of the Hungarian delegation. I am 36 years old and I live with my husband in Budapest, Hungary. In Budapest I work as an English teacher at Szent László High School. I have been teaching at this school for thirteen years. I don’t only teach here but I also take part in different projects and student exchanges. I have been to Denmark, Holland, Finland, Belgium and Italy with different groups and participated in an EU project with Italy.
I, myself also spent a year in the USA as an exchange student during my high school years so I experienced what it is like being a stranger somewhere.
My husband is also a teacher, he teaches French though not at the same school. We don’t have children yet so until that we enjoy being with other children/students.
In my free time I like travelling (I have travelled all over Europe, the USA and also Israel), reading, listening to music and going on excursions.
