The Orchard School

GIVE TO WHAT YOU LOVE


Like all independent schools, The Orchard School, depends upon the generosity of our community to sustain and advance the school's mission. Since Orchard's founding in 1922, governors and trustees, parents, alumni, grandparents, parents of alumni, faculty, staff, and friends have established and grown each piece of the Orchard legacy through their giving. Whether it be generosity of time, knowledge and connections, or financial resources, Orchard has benefitted from and continues to exist only because of these commitments. The forethought and commitment of our donors also began the endowments that support every aspect of our program and facilities, and will continue to ensure an Orchard education is available well into the future.
