Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Education, Primary & Elementary Schools
Mission: Orchard school guides each student to develop the knowledge, confidence, and character essential for a life of learning, leadership, and positive contribution to society.
Programs: The elementary school is comprised of approximately 320 students from preschool through the 4th grade. The focus is on the development of the whole child - socially, emotionally, artistically, and ethically within a supportive and challenging environment. During these formative years, when children are curious and inquisitive, orchard school provides them with opportunities to discover, explore, and experiment. Children learn best by doing and, therefore, are encouraged to think, reason, create, and collaborate through active participation in the learning process.
middle school includes approximately 230 students in grades five through eight. The program provides a wellrounded education, including core academics, arts, and physical education/athletics. It centers around the academic, social, and emotional needs of young adolescents. The middle school students develop increased independence, personal responsibility, and accountability as they encounter increasingly higher expectations for academic and behavioral excellence.
extension programs are available to all students and include summer camp, after school child care, clubs, classes, lessons, and athletics. These programs give students a broad-based experience outside of the classroom. Summer camps are also available to non-orchard students.
