I had been studying at Orme for 2 years, and I could say those years were wonderful to me on the journey of studying abroad and finding myself. I love all parts of Orme, because I made it home when I was there. Orme is a unique place where is located middle of desert in Arizona, but we could access to everything we need basically.

My son has had various opportunities at Orme that I don't believe he would have had at a public school. He is thoroughly enjoying his time at Orme and has made lots of great friends from all over the world. He has three older siblings who all wish that they had attended Orme now that they have witnessed his experience there. We are thrilled with the admin and staff and are happy to be a part of the Orme community!

I have been going to Orme for 4 years now. This school has such a special place in my heart. From swimming in the pool to learning how to play pool in the Commons, this place is true.y special. The community you join is a second family. Being able to truly get to learn the Faculty and Staff, to having "annoying" siblings, just kidding. My favorite part is how everyone has each other's back. In our ups and downs, someone WILL ALWAYS have your back. When I'm at my lowest, someone will care, someone is there, there for not just me, but for all. Walking on campus and seeing one area and thinking of all the memories you've made.

I have graduated from the Orme School, class of 2024! I absolutely loved it. The community and school gets better each year and I have no regrets at all!

Orme is one of the best at the game. It helps a lot of students get welcomed and truly inspires a lot of people to get out of their comfort zone.

This is a school that completely changed the outcome of my son’s academic journey, for the better. My son had a lot of trouble adapting and learning in the institutional / bureaucratic style the public school systems and never got the support and attention he needed. The classroom sizes and limited...
