Admissions at Orchard House
Why a Girls' School?
Repeatedly, research shows girls learn best in a single-sex environment, especially at the middle school level. At Orchard House, our programs and practices are guided by what works best for girls. Using a wealth of brain research, gender specific research, along with developmental and social research, effective teaching strategies and methods, our program is developed, tailored, designed and revised specifically for girls in grades five through eight.
We strive to inspire and educate our girls to build powerful connections to the community, to learning, to themselves as individuals and as members of the larger world, and to provide them the skills and tools for future success.
