Big Life Changes Lead to Orme Students' Big Achievements
Arriving at The Orme School in the middle of the night made quite an impression on Tsu-Yuan "Ruby" Pien two-and-a-half years ago.
"The midnight dirt road, pitch dark all around, all I feel is my heart racing faster as the car hitting every single bump on the road," said Pien, who hails from Taipei, Taiwan. "I guess that was the hardest obstacle for me to overcome during the time I was here at Orme - get used to living with the dirt and the 1980s buildings." |
Orme School traces its roots back to 1929 when, because of the remoteness of their ranch, the Orme Family established a small school for their three children and the children of their ranch employees. Many friends of the Orme Family began to send their children to share in the wholesome outdoor life and academic program. The School gradually expanded and facilities were added and improved, but the sense of family has always been carefully preserved.
