ENHANCING OUR
We know that education is about more than just academics. Fostering compassion and respect have been part of our mission since the school’ s founding more than 200 years ago. As a student at Thornton Academy, you can expect to flourish, surrounded by a supportive community that is rooted in two centuries of rich tradition.
Thornton Academy lives and breathes our pillars of respect, responsibility, compassion, and investment. These guiding principles were developed in collaboration with faculty, staff, and students. They inform our actions and attitudes, enhance our shared experiences, and provide us with a strong sense of community. Our students learn to be a part of something bigger than themselves and feel an increased purpose and belonging.
I am forever grateful for the kind and warm welcome we experienced when my kids transitioned to Thornton Academy. Every student is valued, and we are very lucky to be part of the
TA family.”
