The American International School of Budapest (or AISB) is an international school located in Budapest, Hungary. It was established in 1973 by the United States Embassy to serve United States Government employees' dependents, however, it now has a much more diverse student body including children of the local and expatriate business and diplomatic communities. English is the primary medium of instruction. The school's website reports that it serves a population of about 700 students from 50 countries.
AISB occupies two purpose-built campuses. Pre-Kindergarten - Grade 2 (lower elementary) are housed at the Buda Campus (on Kakukk út) in the Buda Hills. Grades 3 - 12 (upper elementary, middle and high school) share the Nagykovácsi Campus located just 13 kilometers from the center of Budapest.
In the future AISB staff is planning to expand the main campus and move the Pre-Kindergarten - Grade 2 (lower elementary) next to the Nagykovácsi campus to unite the school.
