Below are 5 Reasons Why Orchard Is The Best Private School In Indy

1. Differentiated Instruction

Orchard creates an expectation of achievement by extending the curriculum beyond grade level benchmarks. Teachers are able to meet students' individual needs and develop lifelong learners. We foster personal integrity and respect for self, others, and the world around us.
2. No-Cut Sports In Middle School

We offer a wide variety of extra-curricular sports experiences for children in grades 5 through 8. We have a "no-cut" policy at Orchard, and all interested students who choose to participate are evaluated and placed on an appropriate skill-level team whenever possible. Orchard has one of the winningest middle school basketball coaches of all time (834 wins).
3. Over 95 years of Successful Outcomes Through Progressive Education

From preschool through eighth grade, the experience of articulating one's ideas in front of an audience leads to the eloquence for which Orchard graduates are known. The experience of growing and learning among a diverse set of peers and teachers, in addition to discussing ideas from a variety of perspectives, prepares graduates to thrive in a multicultural, global world.
4. Schoolwide Commitment to The Arts

From age three through grade 8, our students are given choices when it comes to creative expression through band, orchestra, choir, drama or visual arts.
