Global Online Academy (GOA)
AISB is pleased to be among leading independent schools from around the world in offering online courses as a member of the Global Online Academy. This not-for-profit organization offers top-quality online courses that go beyond the confines of the traditional school curriculum. There are more than 120 high-performing independent schools in the consortium, representing more than 25 countries and more than 30 states. AISB is proud to be among the first International Schools in Europe and the first in Hungary to have forged this partnership!
Course offerings include Bioethics, Neuropsychology, Game Theory, Medical Problem Solving, Computational Thinking, and Introduction to Investments, to name just a few. All courses are taught by gifted teachers drawn from the faculties of member schools.
Courses and Teachers
GOA course workload and course intensity are equivalent to courses taken on our campus. Unlike many online courses, students are not passive receptors of pre-recorded lectures from their teachers. Instead, students collaborate on challenging and interesting projects with students from around the world. They are also expected to manage their workload and time effectively to support the asynchronous nature of the courses.
GOA maintains excellence through rigorous teacher training, building on the best practices and values of leading independent schools - and by ensuring classrooms stay at a small size that fosters strong teacher-student relationships and student-to-student collaboration and interaction. AISB faculty members can also become a part of the esteemed group of GOA Instructors.
With Global Online Academy, teachers and students can share their voice on a global stage, improving learning and enabling the pursuit of individual passions.

Advanced Placement (AP)
VHS Learning
Pamoja Education
Advanced Placement (AP) courses are university-level courses that can be taken during high school. Each course culminates in a rigorous exam, which is accepted by many universities for credit. Most of our AP courses are offered through Virtual High School (VHS) AP, and in some cases, a student can take an IB Diploma Course and complete the required self study in order to prepare for an AP exam.
