A common refrain from Thayer alumni and current students alike is that our community is what sets us apart. There is a vibrant, affirming culture here, enriching the experiences at both the Middle and Upper Schools. Moreover, because of the intentionally scheduled school day, students are able to enjoy multiple areas of interest without being forced to choose one or the other. As a result, varsity athletes sing on stage during the fall musical; robotics aficionados craft bowls on a pottery wheel; and students with different interests and from different communities and backgrounds seamlessly join together.
