I had to look in this thread since my hubby has been offered a job in Honduras. I've been searching the web for expats there. (Contact with a Catholic Homeschooling family would be a blessing  )
I hope you're able to receive information on expats in Hungary!!

Not a Catholic family and not Honduras, but I wonder if you contact Amy in Peru she may know of anyone.

My cousin (not Catholic) lived in Hungary as a Christian missionary with a young family for several years...probably 15 - 20 years ago. I am sure she would be willing to give you info. I do know that she found learning Hungarian extremely difficult (she spoke German and French fluently before moving to Budapest) and, at the time, there was a lot of resentment against expats from the USA - hopefully that is gone, as she was there quite a while ago now.
The other thing she found challenging was grocery shopping via public transit bus during the winter months.
If this job opp gets serious, please PM me and I will put you in touch with her.

OK I found this on HSLDA site
In summary, military families do have the right to homeschool. If a military homeschool family resides in the United States, it must abide by the state’s compulsory attendance law. If the military family lives on foreign soil, however, it is not under the jurisdiction of the foreign country’s compulsory attendance law. Nor is it under any regulatory authority of the DoD. Military families, therefore, have no obligation to seek approval of the DoD to homeschool. A family simply needs to secure a curriculum and begin homeschooling.

That's what we did in Italy. As long as your husband's command is bound by a Status of Forces Agreement with the other country, you don't have to follow that country's education laws.

Exactly. Dh would like to take a contractor or government position in Germany some day, but I have a feeling we'd have to wait until dd is ready for college to do so.
