About Orme

The Orme School is a unique community of teachers and students who share a passion for academic excellence, adventure, and personal challenge. Established in 1929, the School is located along Ash Creek in the high country of central Arizona, an area of striking natural beauty. It is surrounded by public land with a working cattle ranch. The Orme School values of Tradition, Excellence, and Character are enmeshed in our boarding and day school programs for grades 7 through 12. We are proud that 100 percent of our graduates are accepted to colleges, universities, or junior colleges.

The nurturing of each student's physical, aesthetic, and spiritual life is emphasized through high expectations and a strong sense of personal and community responsibility.
