"Consider that the mind is capable of an endless growth."
- Asa Burton, one of the founders, urging citizens of Thetford to establish TA in 1819.
Thetford Academy is an independent school community with a public purpose. Our mission is to celebrate the worth of all students, to nurture their strengths, and to challenge them to fulfill their potential. For nearly 200 years, the Academy has served as the community school for the town of Thetford and a school of choice for neighbors in surrounding areas. Today, students come from more than a dozen towns in Vermont and New Hampshire, and from countries around the world, to become a part of this close-knit educational community.
