The 300-acre (120 ha) campus adjoins the Orme Ranch and is located adjacent to the Prescott National Forest.

[14][15][16] The Orme School campus, amidst the ranch, is set on 0.5 square miles (320 acres).

The campus consists of the Phillips Library, the Willits Gymnasium, Student Commons, Founders' Dining Hall, the Old Main Administration Building, Welcome Center, Buck Hart Horsecollar Theater, Morton Vrang Orme Memorial Chapel, Lecture Hall, Burns Health Center, Mosher Math and Science Center, and seventeen residence halls.

[12] In 1974 the teaching style involved students using process of discovery and teachers taking the role of, in the words of Arizona Daily Sun, "moderators".

[12] As of 2019 multiple students from the Crown King community attend Orme for high school.

The boys' basketball team went undefeated and won the AIA 1A state title in 2011,[17] with a starting lineup composed of all international players.

[18] The use of international players at Orme and at Westwind Preparatory Academy, another basketball school that won a state title in 2011, resulted in the AIA changing its rules about those students.
