The Orenco School staff is dedicated to creating an environment in which each student experiences success in learning and positive self-esteem. The interest of children is the heart of all our decision making. We will nurture, instruct and encourage students towards becoming lifelong learners capable of maximizing their potential as responsible, productive citizens. We believe that children learn best in safe environments where meaningful content is taught in an enriched setting. Children should be given the opportunity to collaborate, make choices, receive immediate feedback and exhibit mastery through the application of knowledge.
