The Orme School  

The Orme School is a coeducational college preparatory boarding school, grades 8-12, located in the center of a 26,000 acre working cattle and horse ranch in Central Arizona. Orme School is known for its small class sizes, high desert landscape, competitive sports, horsemanship, Fine Arts Festival, and outstanding outdoor adventuring in the American Southwest. We offer traditional college preparatory courses, as well as an Honors and Advanced Placement curriculum, and are proud of our 100% college acceptance rate. Orme School is committed to academics and excellence of character. Enrollment is limited in number in order to preserve a family atmosphere and a close relationship between teachers and students. The student body is diverse and represents many states and foreign countries. A student-centered academic program is combined with a wholesome outdoor life fostering responsibility, effort, and genuine opportunities for balanced growth and development. Living on a 26,000 acre cattle ranch offers a one of kind education where our students grow in a close-knit Western community.
