Average Class Size: 20 students<br />
Theme:<br />
A rigorous academic experience provided in an environment that values and celebrates strong relationships<br />
between students, staff, families and community.<br />
What makes your school unique?<br />
Orchard Gardens is a welcoming, vibrant, neighborhood centered school where students are striving to<br />
demonstrate high achievement and mastery in all academic content areas including the arts. We believe that<br />
children perform better academically and socially when their families and communities are involved in their<br />
education and their lives. Our nearly 800 students are taught to be independent thinkers and learners. Our<br />
modern school facility provides an environment that is clean, safe, and welcoming to children, families, and<br />
members of all communities. We have a large gymnasium, auditorium, dance studio, two art rooms, a music<br />
room and outdoor athletic practice fields. Electives include Dance, Art, Theatre and Music (woodwind, brass,<br />
percussion and string).<br />
Special opportunities for students:<br />
All students in 6 th , 7 th and 8 th grade students receive an additional four hours of instruction each day - Monday<br />
through Thursday – through our partnerships with Citizen <strong>Schools</strong> and City Year. Students also participate in<br />
expanded learning opportunities over the summer on Thompson Island.<br />
After-School/Extra Curricular Activities<br />
Activities include Baseball, Basketball (boys and girls), Cheerleading, Football, Volleyball, Soccer (boys and<br />
girls) and Track and Field (boys and girls).<br />
We have after-school partnership with Citizen <strong>Schools</strong>, City Year, Orchard Gardens Community Center and<br />
Vine Street Community Center.<br />
