Students explore art through a study of Fine Arts and Cultural/Folk Arts that reflect and integrate with classroom studies each year. From throwing on a pottery wheel to the exploration of personal ideas to the study of snowflakes, every Thacher student discovers their inner artist.
Children grow up at Thacher with the experience that everyone is a musician. Students cultivate not only technical understanding but also their awareness of self, community, and meaning through hours of musical play and challenges. Music is a highlight for our students at Thacher. Between Children’s House and graduating from the Middle School, the average child will participate in over 40 musical performances!
From discovering genetics and DNA to building simple machines, Thacher’s Science program, led by Sally Fitzgerald, is indeed designed around students’ natural curiosity. Using real-world scenarios, students take a scientific approach to solving problems that matter. Students explore a variety of topics, including introductory coding to horticulture. Many blossoming gardeners discover the world of botany in our beautiful greenhouse as they experiment with and care for their plants.
Thacher prepares students for a lifetime of physical activity and wellness. Our Elementary and Middle School P.E. classes focus on teamwork and collaboration to complete team challenges. Children’s House students explore the gymnasium space while navigating, balancing courses, dancing to music, and learning simple yoga poses. Our beautiful artificial turf soccer field provides an opportunity for year-round outdoor activity. From student/staff contests to annual field days, every child is part of Team Thacher.
Students study world languages as a way to connect with others across cultural and geographical borders. Thacher designed standards within the framework of the National Standards for Foreign Language. Our Elementary and Middle School students learn Spanish through music, video projects, and conversational skills, which are woven into every class.
Our teachers nurture each child’s potential and engage students based on their skills and interests. In addition, Academic Support Services are available to students who benefit from extra support in reading, writing, comprehension, and math. Students receive academic support in the classroom or a private setting on a one-to-one basis.
