Mission 

The Orchard House Middle School mission is to educate and inspire middle school girls in a responsive, academically engaging community that fosters each girl's intellectual curiosity, social responsibility, emotional integrity, and physical well-being. 

Statement of Diversity and Community 

Middle school girls need to belong. At Orchard House, we meet people where they are and create space for learning, reflection, and even mistakes in our pursuit of a more just and inclusive school. We acknowledge that: 

Power and privilege are real and impact us every day. 

Equity work is ever-changing and never complete. 

Accountability, both inside and outside the classroom, is as much about character as it is about schoolwork.  

The wealth of our differences is the heart of OHMS, and we aspire to mirror the rich diversity found in the greater Richmond community.
