Growing up – It's about trying new things...

This is your time to make the most of your future. We want to help you spark your curiosity, find your passion, unleash your potential and be the best person that you can be.

Classes That Intrigue
At Thornton Academy, in addition to the traditional subjects like English and math, you'll have the opportunity to sign up for a variety of classes in subjects like marine biology, environmental science, television production, choreography, Russian and law-just because they interest you. Many of Thornton's faculty and leaders have been recognized for their teaching and educational vision, winning state and national awards.

Programs That Open Doors
We take education personally at Thornton Academy. No matter what class you are in, your teachers strive to meet your learning style so you get the most out of your class time. High school classes are open to qualified middle school students (with parents' permission, of course). Innovative programs like Project Success, independent study, Adopt-a-Senior, and early college courses also can provide additional learning opportunities.

Technology That Transforms
Thornton Academy just doesn't talk about technology; we make it happen. Our wireless campus with broadband connection, 720 laptops, computer-based whiteboards, science probes, and sophisticated digital video equipment are just a few examples of the technology that will make your learning experience unique.

Watch a cell divide in real-time on a screen larger than life. Take a virtual field trip to a New York estuary. Browse historical documents online. Technology can help you see solutions to math or science problems, connect you to the world in real-time, and awaken your curiosity in new ways that traditional methods can't.

Growing up is about trying new things, and at Thornton Academy, we take a personal interest in each and every student. Become the very best person you can be. Try something new with us.
