Thornton Academy’s diverse and comprehensive academic offerings and extracurricular program prepared me to succeed at a highly selective university by strengthening my discipline and accountability. Beyond academics, the support of dorm parents, coaches, and friends profoundly shaped my character and who I have become today.

Choosing Thornton Academy, where the education is invaluable, has been the best decision and investment we have made for our child and has truly exceeded all of our expectations. Our student has felt a part of a supportive, creative community since day one of arrival on the campus, where the students and deeply committed faculty value the voice and individuality of one another creating the most engaging learning environment.  Our student feels challenged, supported, excited about learning and inspired for what the future holds.

At TA we get offered many fun activities to do throughout the weekend and vacations. For example, we get to go skiing in the winter and beach in the fall and spring. I’m so glad I have fun activities to do with my friends and experience being a student in the United States.
