Lilla Téri Elementary School offers a warm, stimulating environment where children are encouraged to grow in knowledge, character, and global awareness. Established in 1957 and housed in its main building since 1962 (with an additional site on Bartók Béla Street), the school combines tradition with innovation to serve students in grades 1 through 8.

What distinguishes Lilla Téri is its commitment to bilingual education: since the 2008/2009 academic year, every class has been taught in both Hungarian and English. Students benefit not only from learning English as a second language in a regular setting, but also from studying additional subjects — from visual culture and technological design to geography — in English. This approach nurtures confidence, communication skills, and a readiness to engage with both local and international worlds.

Beyond excellence in language and academics, Lilla Téri fosters holistic development with a variety of extracurricular offerings. Talented students are supported through enrichment and remedial clubs alike. Physical education and sport thrive — from athletics and basketball to tennis and floorball — in both indoor gymnasiums and outdoor playgrounds. Artistic and cultural explorations through choir, theatre, exhibitions, and school camps add color and depth to each school year.

The school’s campus itself supports this vibrant program. With its green, park‑like grounds, outdoor sports courts, a children’s playground and modern facilities, Lilla Téri invites students to learn, play and explore in an uplifting, nurturing setting. For families in Debrecen looking for a school that balances academic rigor, language learning, and a caring community, Lilla Téri Elementary School is a welcoming place where every child can thrive.
