Lauder Javne Jewish Community School, Kindergarten and Music School, in Budapest
The Lauder Javne Jewish Community School, Kindergarten and Music School is based in Budapest, Hungary, home to Central Europe’s largest Jewish Community, and offers Jewish education and challenging academic programs to close to 600 children every year.
The school was founded by a group of Jewish intellectuals and parents in 1990, and financed by The Ronald S. Lauder Foundation.
In 1996, The Ronald S. Lauder Foundation expanded the school, and built a new Lauder Javne facility on a five-acre site in Buda Hills, on land provided by the Budapest municipality, rent-free, for a period of 99 years.
The expanded school complex contains classrooms, a synagogue, a sports center, a 12.000-book library, a computer center and rooms for the Music and Art School. In 1997, the Foundation acquired a beautiful historic building adjacent to The Lauder Javne Jewish Community School, and uses it to house The Lauder Javne Jewish Community Kindergarten. This addition completes the educational complex.
