What will you dare to ask of your high school experience?
At Thacher, high school is a thrilling adventure. It is a place where we hold one another to high standards in the classroom and as community members. It is a place surrounded by the stunning natural beauty of the Ojai Valley. It is a place where positive risk taking in and out of the classroom helps all students develop character and well-being. It is a place where we ask hard questions and do not shy away from the truth. We invite you to make a leap into an education like no other. This is Thacher.
