Real School Budapest founders are delighted to announce that Dave Strudwick has joined their team as the Principal.

From Barna Baráth and Viktoria, Co-Founders of REAL School Budapest:

Dave is an educator, school builder and faculty leader, with deep experience in all aspects of education that are most important to REAL School.

From fostering creativity and entrepreneurial skills, through applied academic learning and the arts, to authentic project-based learning, Dave has decades of experience in all areas of modern education.

Dave has led a number of schools and co-founded two in the UK. He has worked in different parts of the world, from South Korea and China to the USA, Denmark and Germany. In Plymouth, his school was referred to as a "beacon of hope" by the Edge Foundation. At Blackawton, Dave co-facilitated the world’s youngest published scientists - Blackawton Bees and the "i,scientist" programme at the National Science Museum in London.

Please watch Dave's short intro video - with many more to come in the next few days -, check out his website and listen to this beautiful podcast interview to learn more about him. 

This is a major milestone for REAL School’s journey, and an exceptional opportunity for the children, the faculty and all of us to grow in the years to come.

We believe that REAL School is, ultimately, all about people. We feel extremely fortunate to have a dynamic, diverse, and progressive team of educators from around the world at the School, who truly care. With Dave, this team is gaining the leadership needed to fully deliver on our mission - to inspire and empower the next generations to dream and build a beautiful world. 

You’ll have the chance to meet Dave in person at our upcoming Open Day on Saturday, 29 August 2020.
