At Orme, athletic participation depends upon meeting academic responsibilities. Our coaches are teachers who use athletics as motivation for academic success.Facilities include a lighted football field, a gymnasium with a state-of-the-art floor, tennis courts, weight room, wrestling room, soccer, baseball, and softball diamonds, a track, a climbing wall and swimming pool. Athletic programs are designed to teach team effort, self-confidence, self-esteem, and the value of hard work. |
Founded in 1929 and built upon tradition, excellence, and character, The Orme School is located on a lush and green 280-acre campus in central Arizona's high country. Orme's college preparatory academic program provides its students with the background for admission to a competitive university. Yet, an Orme education is much broader; it is designed to help students achieve greater awareness, clearer perspectives, better decision-making capabilities, self-discipline, and wise use of leisure time. Baseball, Basketball, football, softball, tennis, track, and volleyball teams compete in the Arizona Interscholastic Association. Orme is one of the few boarding schools in the nation that competes against public rather than private schools. A diverse horsemanship program offers Western and English riding, hunter-jumper, dressage, gymkhana, roping, and rodeo. During the annual Fine Arts Festival, students participate in week-long workshops under the leadership of professional artists. The annual Caravan offers a choice of several week-long experiential learning adventures. |
