Learning at Orchard

Small classes on a 14-acre wooded campus, where children learn by doing, asking and exploring, and each subject is taught by a teacher who loves it.

The Orchard Difference

  • Specialty Teachers

    Single-subject teachers in math, humanities and science bring depth to every class, and follow each child through the grades.

  • Student-Centered

    Discussion, open dialogue and hands-on work keep children active participants in their own education.

  • Nature-Based

    The 14-acre campus is part of every subject, from tracking birds in science to writing poems under the trees.
