Afterschool programmes
REAL Zone afterschool programmes are extracurricular activities that run outside of REAL School Budapest's school hours, so before 9:45 and after 15:30, Monday to Friday. This is a space and a community where we learn the skills and mindsets needed to change our world for the better, mainly through play, arts, crafts, and movement. And have fun.
Please read through our Terms and Conditions. Afterschool programmes offered by REAL School educators and community members are free to REAL School learners, except for minimal materials fees.
Registration is on a first-come, first-served basis. By signing up, you commit that - unless cancelled during the taster week - your child will attend the enrichment(s) for the whole term. Please fill out a separate form for each child.
All activities will start on the week of Monday, 22 April 2024 (except for Chess; see details below). The first week serves as a taster week. The deadline for cancellations is Friday, 26 April 2024.
Should you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to us at joinus@realzone.hu.

Aikido is a wonderful martial art for children and teens. It is a non-violent, non-competitive martial art which focuses on harmonious body movement and balance control rather than destructive striking techniques for self-defence. It is a form of self-defence based on the study of “connection”. Children learn respect for themselves and their classmates, self-discipline, and confidence.
