– E D U C AT I O N – OR RV I L L E C I T Y S C HO OL S “Orrville City Schools is a K-12 public school with strong parent and community partnerships with an average graduating class of about 120. The Heartland Education Community is a collaborative group that pulls in business, service organizations, city government and other public entities to establish priorities in school/community relations. As a result, Orrville City Schools has a long tradition of success in not only core academics, but also the arts, athletics, character education and college/career readiness. The College Academy, instituted several years ago, provides on-campus opportunities for students to earn college credits in all core areas and several electives. A most recent project has been the implementation of the Young Entrepreneur’s Consortium, which introduced our middle/high schools to problem-based learning, Believe in Ohio, business/entrepreneurship pathway and 1:1 Chromebooks. The district continually looks for ways to enhance the experiences for all learners.” –BRET T L ANZ
