Our Mission, Vision, and Core Beliefs
Orion High School was conceptualized by teachers who foresee the value of online learning for students of all ages. Orion exists to meet the needs of our customers by providing the highest quality digital learning. Our goal is to provide the best high school program in the country, regardless of whether that program is “brick and mortar” or online.
Our Mission
As the premier online high school in the country, we are helping students achieve their goals of high school graduation and beyond by producing students who are high performers no matter what they choose to do in life.
Our Vision
Empowering Learning. Renewing Hope.
