We commit to thinking creatively about the way we educate, the environment in which our students spend their day and the world in general.
We have the freedom to offer whatever works for each individual student and have found that it’s easier than you think! We consistently unlock secrets that enhance our environment and our students’ experience in school. We continue to learn new ways to teach, new ways to learn from each other, new ways to present, new ways to think. We are a team – students, teachers, parents, community. Our mission is to lead by example toward positive educational change – along this path we are moving forward rapidly. We are excited to share what we have learned with the world.
Orsch students are rarely inside the box...unless it's REALLY FUN!
Much of what Orsch has discovered is applicable in any current educational setting and stands to add much value to that structure.
We MUST break out of the mold in which we have cast ourselves within traditional education. It is not a tough mold to break – it is enjoyable, successful and possible. Educational reform does not need more money, more teachers, more school days or better tests – instead, we must simply allow students to prosper.
In 2009 I set out to create an educational environment where freedom, creativity and potential could reign. The students and the paradigm have exceeded my expectations.
I invite you to be a part of the exciting developments with us. Please partake in our blog discussions – offer your opinion, your input and your ideas – challenge our thinking.
It is my hope that our discoveries will help millions of students and thousands of schools. It is my hope that we begin to think differently about the way we offer education to our youth. It is my hope that we will continue to discover new methods, new ideas and strategies that bring the best to our students. It is my hope that we adhere to constant improvement – never stopping at great – always looking for better.
Please peruse our site – see the excitement of children, the creativity in their work – the collaboration in which they are immersed every day – observe the productivity of their independence! Enjoy learning about Orsch Philosophy; if Orsch philosophy were to be used just a tiny bit in every school, we would see America’s students begin to soar, as current Orsch students and graduates have successfully done. – Jackie
