Our Purpose: The Corporation is organized exclusively for charitable, educational and scientific purposes. Orenda Education is also the not-for-profit sponsoring entity for the Orenda Charter School District, an “open- enrollment charter school” district. A charter school is a public school sponsored by a private, not-for-profit organization.

Strategic Plan:   To serve 4,000 students in eight Central Texas area campuses by the year 2032.  The school district will have one “flagship college preparatory K – 12 campus” serving approximately 1,500 students that is also a member of the University Interscholastic League, and seven smaller “special mission campuses” serving approximately 2,500 students.
