We give equal emphasis to classical and scientific educational areas, and make every effort to educate our students for a healthy lifestyle
and the protection of the environment. We endeavour to offer a wide range of knowledge to our students, since most of the children
between the age of 6-14 still do not know what their talents and special interest are  until later on in life. They want to test their strength in several things,
and we help them do this. We think it is natural if somebody participates in sport one year, enrols in a drawing course the next year, then gets acquainted with the basics of computer programming, and later on shows interest in singing and music as well.
With our skilled pedagogues we can deal with outstanding talents separately  and start them on their way.

We consider the development of the mother tongue an important part of education. For this reason, our classes are supplemented with material from other programs as well. For the younger students we hold Csiribiri Theater session, dance and drama pedagogy  sessions for the older students.

 In the 1998-99 school year we started our first musical class with increased number of hours. In these "A" classes we ensure multifaceted preliminary musical training with curricular requirements. We would like to established their national identity with many traditional children's game and awaken a sense of respect for our historical past and popular tradition and love folk music and folk-song. Folk-dance cannot be left out of this line either. We want to arouse their interest for folk-dance in  in Csiribiri dance group by performing nice traditional children's games and simple motifs.

To educate pupils become listeners of music is of equal importance to us. For this reason - as a supplement to school classes - we are frequent visitors of the concerts. We can mention among our accomplishments that we have, for several years, bee among the first three places at the block flute competitions of the district, as well as at singing and folk-dance competitions. A permanent participant of school festivals is our choir.

The physical education is the one of the most important direction in the school education. We have four P.E. teachers.
Besides football, handball and hiking, children can also find musical gymnastics and acrobatic gymnastics in our afternoon electives.
We have been running our  rhythmic gymnastics group since 1991-92. This sport became so popular among our pupils after the first appearance
that the number of the group since members has multiplied in past years.
We are  regular participants of gymnastics competitions and finals held at district and capital levels.

As a result, in 1998, we won the prize of Gymnastic School of Gold Grade, and in the school year of 2002-03 our 100 competitors won 225 medals and capitol level competitions. In that years some of our talented gymnast were "enticed" to gymnastic clubs of the capitol.

One of our PT teachers is professional fencing coach too and his trainings more and more popular in our school, and so we try

to organize his trainings into time-table of the fifth grade as optional hour.

Finally each year we arrange playful tournaments for the our children's families. Parents and kids compete together in gym.

Our creative teachers deal with our young pupils on the drawing lessons effectively.
They frequently arrange exhibitions belonging to the house , but we often organize bigger exhibitions.
We often give out applications for pupils of other schools in our district
and we put out nursery-school child's drawings from the neighbouring kindergarden.

At the affiliated department of Béla Bartók Art School, our pupils can attend solfége courses, learn to play the block flute, violin and piano,

as well as learn do graphics and paintings.
We have a good relationship with the art school, especially with Breitkopfné Losovy Beáta, the Béla Bartók Art School's leader of graphic art department.

Therefore we can organize the second international exhibition in this year. See our application on this side!

We have one of the best supplied library in the district.
The library - beside lending of books - regularly organise meetings with writers and poets, agons and games in library and outside it,
hold lessons about library information system, to teach the pupils to use it as quickly and precisely as it might be.

The professional experts count their job as valuable practise and in a trade paper called "Treasure-house of teachers" published article about their ideas.

 We teach English and German language in compliance with the number of native lessons
On these lessons we gather the kids in small groups adjusting for their capability for learning language.
They prepare for their Christmas programme with little scenes in English or German language .

The students who have achieved good results at district competitions introduce themselves with a cultural program at the annual Diadal Gala,
they receive tiny gifts, diplomas from their school, and at the end of school year the school lay a modest cold buffet for them.

The quality of learning process directly shapes the school career of the student who straggles with learning disabilities, and in the long run it can effect the development of his whole personality and course of life.
In last years more and more children enter our school with special education demands. In light of this and in accordance with the counsel of the Educational Advisory Office our school for several years has been paying special attention to children struggling with behavioural disorders performing below grade level.
Since 1996-97 school year, in what was begun as a pioneer initiative, we have employed two - later three - developmental teachers holding degrees in special education to help students with learning disabilities in the lower and higher grades.
