The Orion School educates complex students with neurobehavioral conditions; including Asperger's and ADHD. Teacher to student ratio is 1:4 and high interest, experiential instructional approaches include an outdoor classroom with a garden and chickens. We need volunteers to help in both the classroom and the office.
No previous experience necessary, but a willingness and interest to help students with special needs is needed.
Volunteers must be physically able to work with active students, be willing to provide 3 references and give a new background check or submit a recent one.
*We ask that all volunteers commit to a minimum of 2 hours per week the same day and time each week for the remainder of the semester that they start volunterering. This consistency is necessary for our students.

Mission Statement
The Orion School is an accredited, non-profit private school with a mission to ensure that complex students with neurobehavioral conditions are self-confident, able to engage in positive social interactions and able to experience success within an academic setting.
Our students have struggled in more traditionally structured schools. Our goal is to create happy, self confidant learners who love school.
Description
To stay engaged and motivated in school, our energetic and behaviorally impulsive students in grades
k-8 require the kind of high interest, experiential educational approaches we provide. For example we have off site learning opportunities and an outdoor classroom that includes an organic garden and chickens. Our very small classes of four students ensure individual educational goals are met in all areas of development. Innovative instructional approaches teach our students to reach personal goals and love learning. .
