About

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

"ORCHARD...THE PLACE WHERE EVERYONE BELONGS"

The Orchard School is an inclusive community deliberately rich with diversity. We strive to maintain a safe and welcoming environment that encourages courageous conversations about differences in beliefs, identities and perspectives.

We value and respect the dignity, worth and experiences of every person. We embrace the belief that diversity enriches learning and benefits everyone. We believe that experiencing and learning about diversity helps people relate to each other and the world with greater respect, understanding and kindness. To that end, Orchard educates the whole child by integrating social responsibility, moral character, respect, inclusivity and equitable treatment of all people into its curriculum and policies including admissions, hiring, financial assistance and professional development.
