ORCA offers students a full-time college experience that satisfies all requirements for an Associate’s degree and most requirements for a high school diploma.
Using an innovative, project-based approach in a small "learning community" environment, students enjoy the challenge of designing and implementing their own learning experiences under the guidance of talented college faculty.
