Orchidea Hungarian-English Bilingual Schools (OHEBS) operates three Budapest campuses: Hajdú Óvoda és Általános Iskola on Hajdú utca, Cserkesz Óvoda és Általános Iskola on Cserkesz utca, and Orchidea Gimnázium on Szent László út 59–61. It provides Hungarian–English bilingual education from kindergarten through the end of secondary school, developing both native-language skills and high-level English and allowing study in either language after secondary education. The institution is accredited and operates in accordance with the Hungarian national public education law and the national core curriculum. It serves both Hungarian families and international families living in Budapest.
OHEBS offers a safe, caring, multicultural learning environment for students from kindergarten to secondary school across three sites in Budapest. The bilingual program serves both Hungarian and international families and emphasizes language development and cross-cultural learning. School life includes student participation structures and community service opportunities, with active involvement from parents. The overall community emphasizes collaboration across campuses and programs.
Each Orchidea campus has a Parents' Work Community (SZMK). The SZMK works closely with group leaders and class teachers, and the institution's leadership also values their advice and feedback. This close collaboration creates an effective cooperation model that supports the institutions' effectiveness.
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.
