Orchard School

We love Orchard so much that we enrolled all 3 of our kids there. We have experienced another private school as well as a public elementary and middle school and found that Orchard more than meets the needs of our family. All three of my children are very different, they have different learning styles, different strengths and weaknesses, different levels of motivation, and very different personalities. Orchard works for all of them. I am constantly amazed at how well the teachers know my children. The first report card we got (my son had just started in 3rd grade) was 10 pages long! I know that Orchard will prepare my kids academically, but what I really love is all the other stuff. My kids now have an understanding of how they fit in the the world, not just their small community. They are learning to be confident, responsible, thoughtful, kind, creative, persistent, collaborative, well balanced individuals. I also love it for me. They have great parent education like classes on how to deal with your teenager, collaborative talks, thoughtful articles sent out, and so much more. I also love how the administration listens and it collaborative with the parent body. They are always moving the school forward while growing and changing with the students' needs as the primary goal.

There is a feeling when you walk into Orchard that it's a great place to be. Students are smiling and enjoying their time there. I have heard more than one child say that they wanted to stay at school. Can you imagine? A kid wanting to stay at school rather than come home. Incredible. The teachers are the best around and the way they inspire students to be inquisitive and curious about the curriculum with hands-on learning methods is truly amazing.



I would highly recommend making a visit to the school to see if it's right for your child.
