Kőrösi Csoma Sándor

Primary and Secondary School

Kőrösi Csoma Sándor

He set off for Asia in the early 19th century to find the ancestors of the Magyars, or any traces they may have left behind. At that time it was thought that the Magyars had come to the Carpathian Basin from Asia.

Studies

Csoma had prepared for this journey from his childhood. Back in his native town of Nagyenyed in Transylvania, he studied Classics and learned several modern languages so that he could research the historical sources on the origins of that people.

Later he went to the University of Göttingen to study and he learnt Turkish, Arabic and Persian. He was fluent in thirteen living and dead languages by the time he set out in autumn 1819.(Today, our school also specializes in teaching languages.)

His greatest achievement was creating a Tibetan-English dictionary

and a Tibetan grammar book.

He died in Darjeeling, India. He is said to have been able to read in seventeen languages. He is considered a Buddhist saint in Japan and in the East.

School-life

Our school has three buildings and three sections as well:

Junior Section (6-10 ys)

Senior Section (10-14 ys)

High School (14-19 ys)

We celebrated the 30th anniversary of the school last year.

The Choirs

In each section there is a choir with outstanding national results on different singing contests. Teaching singing is a speciality in our school.

The Campsite

By Lake Tisza, we have a school-camp in Sarud.

Sarud is a small village, close to a nature conservation area.
