OUR PILLARS OF CHARACTER

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 .”
