Our Philosophy

Head of School's Welcome
It is my pleasure to welcome students, parents, alumni, and friends of the Academy to Thayer's website. I encourage you to explore its pages and learn more about our community. If you are new to our school, please visit our campus. Read our mission statement, as well. It says a lot about who we are, what we do, and what we believe is important. To our parent and alumni communities, I offer a sincere thank you for your involvement and support as, together, we guide a new generation of students towards their future.
