The ''East-West Church and Ministry Report'' wrote in 1999 that multiple Christian missions have relocated to Budapest because of its strategic location halfway between the Baltic and Adriatic Seas, but added, "One of the major factors for missions relocating regional offices to Budapest has been the development of the International Christian School of Budapest, an accredited program (grades 1-12) with 150 students."
