Dear Parent or Guardian,
Welcome and thank you for your interest
in Oak Ridge Middle School. Our mission is to provide a positive
and nurturing learning environment focused on developing
the fundamental skills, intellect and imagination of students in order to
prepare those students to succeed in a college-preparatory curriculum
at the high school
level.
Oak Ridge Middle School was established
in 2005 to offer families an independent,
co-educational, structured, safe, nurturing learning experience
for students
in Grades 6 to 8. Oak Ridge Middle School is proud to be affiliated with
the
long-standing excellence of Oak Ridge Military Academy (ORMA). Oak Ridge
was established in 1852, and
it is the third-oldest military prep school in the
nation. ORMA has a proud heritage of preparing students for success in
college and beyond.
Oak Ridge Military Academy is fully accredited by the Southern Association
of Colleges and Schools and has been accredited longer than any other secondary
school in the state of North Carolina, having maintained its accreditation
since
1899. Oak Ridge Middle School is governed by the ORMA Board of Trustees and
is managed by an administrative team that consists of Dr. Roy Berwick,
the President
of ORMA; Mr. Chris Royster, the Academic Dean, and Ms. Tiffany Green, the
Middle School Principal.
The Middle School staff includes
the principal, a three teacher faculty and a Commandant.
Four core classes are taught including Language Arts, History,
Mathematics
and Science. Physical Education is taught daily. Students rotate electives
each quarter; the electives offered are Foreign Languages, Art, and Journalism.
Class
sizes are small and enable teachers to provide each student with individual
care to their learning. Numerous activities are planned throughout the
year
to help
emphasize classroom learning with hands-on experiences. Study halls and
help classes are offered to help students with homework,
studying for tests and
completing assignments.
Thank you for your interest in Oak
Ridge Middle School. Please feel free to contact me with
any questions. tgreen@ormila.com
Sincerely,
Tiffany Green
Middle School Principal
