Join us in shaping the future of education! The Central Buda Waldorf School (in Budapest, Hungary) has been a beacon of holistic learning since its establishment in 2014. However, our journey took an unexpected turn when the property we were leasing changed ownership in 2020. Facing a doubled rental fee and a termination notice for June 2024, we embarked on a quest for a new home.
Architectural design of the new building
This spring, the II. District Municipality opened a tender for a vacant kindergarten building, and with the wholehearted support of the local council, we secured the opportunity to transform it into our new, permanent base. The six-classroom structure, initially designed for preschoolers, lays a reliable foundation, but it requires renovation, restructuring, and expansion to evolve into an 8-class school with specialized rooms, communal spaces, and offices. The estimated cost of this endeavor is a substantial yet realistically manageable investment of at least 400 million Hungarian Forints.
Architectural design of the new building Waldorf education relies on the active involvement of parents, who already generously pledged over 50 million forints towards our new school project, in addition to their regular monthly contributions covering less than half of our operational costs. Beyond this, we are reaching out to individuals and businesses who share our commitment to human-centered, free education and envision leaving a lasting impact through supporting such a school.
Our students light the fire
With just 10 months for renovation and expansion, we are seeking your generous support to turn our vision into reality. Together, let's build a foundation for lifelong learning and community growth. Your contribution matters—be a part of our journey and help us create something enduring for generations to come.
