Our School is an 8 year elementary school in the middle of Zalaegerszeg. The Petőfi Sándor Hungarian – English Bilingual Elementary School is the oldest elementary school of the town, it was founded in 1873, named after the famous hungarian poet Petőfi Sándor.

For years we have been forming our teaching principles, implementing new teaching and educational methods into our wide range of services. The most important part of our programme is the individual treatment for our talented students, and for those too who are in need of extra help of improvement. Since 2010/2011 we’ve been participating in the nationwide Ecological / Eco – friendly School programme. In 2019 we’ve been awarded with the Eternal Eco – School title. From 2021 to 2023 our school was renovated, and a big part of the roof was covered with solar panels.

Our talent centric educational programme has 3 main focuses, the advanced level Physical education which was introduced 1972, the advanced mathematics and informational technologies studies which was founded in 1996, and since 2001 we’ve started the advanced foreign languages classes in english and german languages. In these classes the applicants can choose  the bilingual teaching programme which was formed in 2009.

We consider it important that we are able and dare to change our methods to be able to offer the most suitable methods for our students and their parents in the light of changing conditions.
