Orchard School Foundation

To develop and educate the whole child. As a progressive, non-sectarian, independent school, Orchard commits to advance each student’s academic success, self-confidence, open mindedness, ethical character, leadership, and love of learning.

The Orchard School, a non-sectarian, coeducational, preschool to eighth-grade school, was founded 98 years ago by nine women committed to progressive education and experiential learning. Orchard students experience their education and achieve academic excellence through critical thinking, application of knowledge, and problem-solving. In addition to having learned social responsibility and diversity, 85 percent of Orchard graduates are honor roll or high honors students in high school and many become National Merit Scholarship finalists.
