Hungary

Teleki Samuel Elementary School is in Érd, Hungary. Érd is a town about 20 km southwest of Budapest, the capital city of Hungary. The school was established in 1933. The name, Samuel Teleki comes from a famous Hungarian geographer and explorer who mapped the last white spots of Africa in the 19th century. We have chosen this name in 1991, because the school aims to educate students to become responsible, creative and thoughtful young teenagers. Our school is a member of the Hungarian Eco-School Network. Now there are about 500 students from 1st to 8th grade (6-15 years olds) and 40 teachers. We are looking forward to take part in the European Chain Reaction with the students of year 5 and 6 . Hopefully it is going to be a great challenge and fun for us.
