Letter from the Director of Admissions

Tim Magill

Dear Applicants and Families,

Thank you for your interest in The Orme School of Arizona.

Choosing the right school for your child is an incredibly important decision, involving clear communication between you and the school.  The Admissions Staff at Orme is committed to making this dialogue as informative and helpful as possible.

Your child's passage from enrollment to graduation is our specialty. Our faculty and staff are able to provide a comprehensive program that challenges and supports each student at every juncture of their education.  Small class sizes and individual attention, both in and out of the classroom, allow Orme teachers to be a dedicated part of each student's intellectual growth and character development.

For 80 years, Orme students have been engaged in a challenging academic curriculum, combined with opportunities in athletics, fine arts, horsemanship, outdoor leadership, and service to others.  As a nonsectarian school, Orme attracts a diverse student body that mirrors the world around us.  At Orme, each student's physical, aesthetic, and spiritual life is emphasized through high expectations and a strong sense of personal and community responsibility. The families we serve are proud of the personal integrity and leadership qualities our graduates embody.   

Information on our website will give you a brief overview of  Orme, yet I highly encourage you to visit our beautiful 300 acre campus surrounded by a 26,000 acre horse and cattle ranch. We are located within an hour of Phoenix and are in close proximity to Sedona, Prescott, and Flagstaff. If you think Orme offers the right opportunities for you and your family, please continue with the application process as outlined on the website.

Please feel free to contact us at 928-632-7601, with any additional questions or interest you may have. We look forward to meeting you soon.

Sincerely,

Tim Magill
Director of Admissions
