The school operates a two-language program with instruction in Hungarian and English across the curriculum. In the primary school and the four-year secondary school, language training forms a unified framework, so students complete primary education and continue in the secondary school without interruption while developing their language skills. The English Language Department provides intensive instruction within a comprehensive communicative program to ensure students have the English proficiency required to participate fully in English-language lessons. The English language program, with an increased number of English lessons, prepares students for the two-level Hungarian matura (intermediate and advanced) and for admission to Hungarian universities.
The school provides education in Hungarian and English from kindergarten through primary school to the final examinations in secondary school. English is consistently present in daily life and classroom practice.
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.
