Introduction
Orchidea Hungarian-English Bilingual School is a Budapest-based program delivering Hungarian–English bilingual education from kindergarten through secondary school across campuses: Hajdú, Cserkesz, and Szent László. The curriculum combines the Hungarian National Core Curriculum with an English-language emphasis, culminating in a bilingual gymnasium track where upper grades study most subjects in the target language. A language-preparation year (9. KNY) starts with 18 hours per week of English and ends with a complex English exam; entry to the 9th grade requires at least a B1 certificate, and graduation aims for CEFR C1 in English. The school serves both Hungarian and international families and maintains a multicultural environment with daily use of both languages. Facilities include specialized classrooms (szaktantermek) and gymnasium on Szent László campus. The program emphasizes lifelong learning, family-like small groups, parental collaboration, and opportunities such as science fairs, trips, and student governance, plus a broad range of clubs and community service.
