Dénes Attila

Since December 2023, I've been a member of the BPS team as a house manager. Prior to that, I spent 30 years working in various areas of the hospitality industry.

In my spare time, I'm passionate about DIY projects. My knack for handiness was strengthened by my father-in-law, from whom I learned many useful tricks. I enjoy multitasking and resolving issues as quickly as possible. It brings me great joy to see others appreciate my work.

I've been riding motorcycles since my youth, particularly enjoying touring abroad. Additionally, I build remote-controlled models, primarily tanks, though I've also modeled airplanes and boats in the past. I consider myself forever young; it's hard to grow up. :)

I'm married with two children, aged 21 and 18. I'm proud of my family.

Many of you ask me, "How did I come up with the idea of founding a school?" The answer is quite obvious: just like you, I dreamed of a place for my two kids where they could learn and develop according to their own interests and desires, alongside great peers and caring, inspiring guides...

We found each other with Budapest School, and look what it has become: in 2018, we started with 28 children and 5 teachers in 150 square meters, and this September we'll begin our sixth year with 90 kids and 15 teachers in 3 properties, totaling about 800 square meters. And we're all working together to ensure that our children are happy now and as they grow up. ☺️

In my previous life, I was an English teacher, HR specialist, and organizational development manager, and although I loved each of my roles, none motivated and inspired me as much as this school adventure. When it comes to the well-being of children, their learning opportunities, and their environment, my energy reserves are endless.

My partner in life and in building this school is my husband, Balázs Kállai, without whom – as they say – none of this could have happened... ☺️

Hegedűs József

I graduated from the Szeged Teachers' Training College, then taught as an elementary school teacher at a special school for children with learning disabilities. After a little detour I arrived at Budapest School Campona. I am 26 years old and live in Budapest.

Working with children brings me great joy, as does passing on my love for music and life. I admire the honesty and openness to the world that children possess. It's very inspiring for me to meet intelligent students from whom I learn a lot about life, love, and truth.

Music is my passion. I am an active singer and songwriter, performing with the Vadvirág band. This year, we were nominated for the Fonogram Award.

Lakatos Gabriella

I graduated from the Liszt Ferenc Academy of Music with a degree in jazz singing. I actively perform in jazz bands and also have a solo project, with which I recently released my first album.

In addition to my work at BPS, I teach at several other places because I love working with children. I admire their openness, curiosity, and the magic of guiding them on the path of creativity. It always brings me joy to see how diverse conversations can be held even with the little ones. I'm impressed by their perspectives and how they assert them. What I particularly like about BPS students is how skilled they are in implementing their ideas.

When I'm not singing or teaching, I enjoy cooking. My favorite dish is goulash soup 😊

Lukács Okszána

I obtained my degree in men's outerwear tailoring in Kiev. Following this, I worked in the workshop of the Kiev Theater. From 2004 to 2006, I studied restoration at the Art College.

In Hungary, I assisted Ukrainian refugees with everyday communication. This is how I came into contact with Budapest School Campona. We found each other, and I continued my work here. Initially, I held Quilling classes at the school. I love working with children, so I'm happy to be among them every day. I hope that everyone is satisfied with my work.

Csörnök Tamás

At the age of 13, I decided that I wanted to pursue teaching. This is why I applied to the undivided teacher training program at Pázmány Péter Catholic University in 2013, majoring in Hungarian and history. From the end of my university internships, I was able to successfully secure a position in a state school, so I have been in the field since 2018.

I believe that a teacher is not the sole possessor of knowledge and can make mistakes and errors just like anyone else, hence the need for continuous self-reflection and feedback from their environment. (Yes, including from the students!) Therefore, in my work, I see myself not primarily as a conveyor of knowledge but rather as a facilitator of knowledge.

In my profession, establishing a good relationship with students is paramount to me, as I believe it is the most effective way to facilitate collaborative work and successful learning.

Szabó Bálint

Az ELTE Természettudományi karán, matematika és fizika tanári szakon végeztem a 2000-es évek elején. Az egyetem utolsó évét Angliában töltöttem egy bentlakásos magániskola kollégiumi tanáraként, és matematikai asszisztensként. Hatalmas inspirációval és tanítási vággyal érkeztem haza, ami azóta is tart. Számos állami és magán iskolában eltöltöttem már jópár évet, mindenütt szép emlékekkel és tudással gazdagodtam, de a legnagyobb szabadságot és az élményközpontú tanulás lehetőségét itt a BPS-ben találtam meg, ahol 2019 óta dolgozom.

A tanítás mellett sokáig versenyszerűen tollaslabdáztam, majd edzőként is tevékenykedtem. A sportban majdnem annyit, ha nem többet, tanultam a tanításról, a gyakorlás és a helyes módszerek, arányok fontosságáról, mint amit az egyetemen vagy az iskolai tapasztalataimból szereztem, hiszen itt legtöbbször egyszerre voltam tanár és diák, aki a legmagasabb célokat akarta elérni.

Szeretek mindemellett kirándulni, futni, túrázni és kempingezni.

Van két gyermekem, akiknek a születésével felelősségteljesebbé váltam, ezt a változást a tanításban, és a világról alkotott szemléletmódban is megtapasztaltam.

Keresztes Eleonóra

I came to BPS Campona to support communication towards parents and those interested in the school. I have three fantastic, exciting, and fearless children. I love working with youth. I truly see the meaning in my work when I create value, and this area is perfect for experiencing my motivation.

With tireless energy, I aim to help parents get fresh information as quickly as possible and to show those interested in the school what a loving and inspiring environment it is to unfold wonderful children's wings at Budapest School Campona.

Kabai Zoltán

I spent my childhood in the United States, where I acquired English at a native level. I have always believed that learning languages is not just a tool for communication but also a gateway to understanding and embracing other cultures. This belief inspires me in my work teaching English at Budapest School.

Throughout my professional career, I have gained diverse experiences, including over 15 years in senior leadership roles in media and marketing, where I managed regional teams, developed strategies, and executed complex projects. However, working with children has always held a special place in my life. I have worked in child protection services, taught in special education, and for over two decades, I have led summer camps for children with ADHD. These experiences have reinforced my belief in the transformative power of personalized attention and support.

The ethos of Budapest School, where children grow independently and explore their interests, aligns perfectly with my philosophy of teaching. In my classes, I emphasize playful and experiential learning while creating an environment where children feel free to experiment, make mistakes, and learn from them.
