Summary/Abstract: The ideal school means something different to every student and teacher, so it is important to address the question of how they imagine this institution. A dream school can be interpreted and imagined in many different ways, in this study I am examining what the ideal school would be like in relation to the work carried out in it, according to the ideas of the high school students and teachers in Pécs. For a later change, it is essential to be aware of what kind of changes those who are actually part of school life would see as expedient. Based on several aspects, I assess what they imagine the school building and the teachers teaching in it to be like, what they think about the subjects, the length of the teaching days, the class sizes, and I also analyze the other ideas both of investigated populations. Furthermore, I compare the similarities and differences between the views of the students and the teachers. My results show no significant difference between the current and the idealized school either in the opinions of students or teachers. They would consider changes necessary in all areas, but they would not be exceptional and would be clearly feasible. In order to bridge the differences between the idealized and the current schools, it would be worthwhile to ask the students and teachers of other schools about their ideas, and the current education system should also examine these insights, since it becomes visible that both students and teachers want to achieve minimal changes, and these ideas can contribute to a more satisfied teacher society, as well as better student performance.
