“The friendships I made at OHMS became the model for the kind of meaningful relationships I sought in high school, college, and adult life.”

“I really love that we had to explore different arts each quarter - it made us stretch out of our comfort zones.”

As a person, OHS showed me that there’s no such thing as limits. I was exposed to a whole new world within Orchard House, and I will forever be grateful for the experience.

“I credit Orchard House with providing me with a strong educational foundation. This helped me be successful in high school and college by instilling strong study habits, the ability to balance school and extracurricular activities, and a small learning environment that helped me thrive.”

“Orchard House provided an alternative to the mainstream, which I think I was always drawn to, even before it was a conscious choice. I gained a strong sense of self being in such a tight-knit community.”

“I love the way that Orchard House celebrates girlhood in whatever way that looks for each individual girl.”
