The Orchard School

The Orchard School’s mission is to develop and educate the whole child. As a progressive, non-sectarian, independent school, Orchard commits to advancing each student’s academic success, self-confidence, open-mindedness, ethical character, leadership, and love of learning.

Orchard is on the cusp of its 100 year of Progressive education in Indianapolis with a focus on outdoor education, experiential hands-on learning, DEI, and social and emotional learning. A beautiful 43-acre wooded campus provides many outdoor learning spaces and a 27-element ropes course to incorporate nature into the curriculum.
