Dear Alums,

You are our pride and joy and the reason Orchard Valley was created. And you are the embodiment of why it continues to blossom and bloom.

We love seeing you on campus and are thrilled when you are able to attend school events, festivals and graduations. We know you are busy you are with your new schools, colleges, jobs, internships, travels, performances, research, activism, projects and endeavors of all kinds. We thank you for making and taking the time to visit when you can.

We are ALWAYS interested in hearing from you and learning about your life and adventures! We witnessed your growth every day and such a bond creates lasting ties. We care deeply about your well-being and are always here for you.

Be in touch and let us know anything from a new email address to news you wish to share about yourself or a fellow Alum. You might want to follow us on Instagram or join our Facebook community. However it happens, we would just love to be in touch.

Please be on the lookout for invitations to Alum gatherings too! We want to help you stay connected with each other and with us!

Much Love,
Your Orchard Valley Waldorf Community

from our alums - in their own words

“My mom asked me on my first day at school here, 'If there was a machine with a dial from one to ten, with ten being the best and one being the worst, how was your day at Orchard Valley?' And I said, 'It blew up the machine.'“

- Alum (graduated in 2015)

“Correct me if I’m wrong, but I’m pretty sure no public schools go to a pentathlon and learn to throw javelins, nor do they knit and crochet.”

- Alum (graduated in 2015)

“You were, and still are, like a second mom to me and I cherish my early memories of beeswax…”

- Alum (graduated in 2015)

“In First Grade, I remember trying to dig to China…. If it weren’t for the teachers filling it in, I’m pretty sure we would have made it…”

- Alum (graduated in 2014)
