We suggest that you visit Thacher in one or more of the above ways before applying for admission. We accept applications between September and February for admission for the following school year.
Student Visit
After your application is received the Director of Admissions will be in touch to schedule a visit for your child. The purpose of this visit is for Thacher teachers to interact with prospective students so that we may best determine if Thacher is the appropriate academic environment for your child.
- Children’s House applicants visit with teachers in small groups while their parents talk with faculty.
- Elementary I applicants spend a half day interacting in a classroom and visit individually with a teacher.
- Elementary II and Middle School applicants spend an entire day in a classroom and visit individually with a teacher.
