The best part about my experience at The Orme School is the opportunities for arts and sports that I didn't get at any other previous school. The worst part is that I don't get to see my parents often, less than half the year.

Orme is a very good school that accepts a lots of international student to help increase diversity. It also truly helps you get ready for college as the experience there is college prep. To conclude, Orme is a very amazing school I would recommend anyone to apply to this great school

I have been going to Orme for 4 years now. This school has such a special place in my heart. From swimming in the pool to learning how to play pool in the Commons, this place is true.y special. The community you join is a second family. Being able to truly get to learn the Faculty and Staff, to having "annoying" siblings, just kidding. My favorite part is how everyone has each other's back. In our ups and downs, someone WILL ALWAYS have your back. When I'm at my lowest, someone will care, someone is there, there for not just me, but for all. Walking on campus and seeing one area and thinking of all the memories you've made.

Orme is one of the best at the game. It helps a lot of students get welcomed and truly inspires a lot of people to get out of their comfort zone.

This is a school that completely changed the outcome of my son’s academic journey, for the better. My son had a lot of trouble adapting and learning in the institutional / bureaucratic style the public school systems and never got the support and attention he needed. The classroom sizes and limited...
