Head of Secondary School

Budapest British International School (BBIS), a proud IB World School, seeks an innovative, positive, and inspirational Head of Secondary School to join us at a pivotal moment in our development. With the confirmation of our IB Continuum status expected soon, BBIS is set to become the first IB Continuum School in Budapest and Hungary's first with a seamless IB education from Primary through to the Diploma Programme (DP) in which students have graduated and gone onto University. As we continue to grow, BBIS remains firmly committed to putting students first.

Strengths in sports, arts, business and community service complement our focus on academic excellence. With a modern IT infrastructure supported by Google Workspace, we embrace technology to enhance teaching and learning practices.

As a COBIS-accredited school, BBIS combines the best of British and international education. We offer clear entry requirements, small class sizes (16-18 in Primary and 18 in Secondary), and a two-form entry model, fostering a supportive and high-quality learning environment.

We are now seeking a dynamic and forward-thinking Head of Secondary School who can build on the excellent foundations established by our current Head of Secondary. Over the past three years, we have successfully developed the Secondary School into a strong and student-focused environment. The incoming Head of Secondary will continue this work, bringing energy, expertise, and innovation further to lead the implementation of BBIS’s 2025–2030 Strategic Plan. The successful candidate will drive and oversee the achievement of the plan’s ambitious goals, ensuring that:

1. Evidence-based teaching is at the heart of classroom practice,
2. Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB) is embedded throughout the school community,
3. Our Curriculum prepares students to thrive in an ever-changing global landscape,
4. Character Development remains a cornerstone of school life
5. Environmental Stewardship becomes a guiding principle
