Admission
Applying for Fall 2023
As we all work to adjust to ever changing circumstances and to prioritize the health and safety of our community and our applicant families, we want to assure you that the admission process at Thacher will remain fluid, flexible, and above all, equitable.
With this in mind, we will offer optional in-person family visits for fully vaccinated guests twice per week; virtual campus visits and interviews; standardized testing will be optional; and we are waiving the application fee for all U.S. families applying for financial aid.
At Thacher, we look for motivated, highly capable students who are prepared to commit their energies, talents, and personal integrity to a unique experience—one that will encourage them to focus on existing passions while also asking them to tackle a wide array of new challenges. And it all takes place in a rich community where honor, fairness, kindness, and truth are the touchstones and where racial, ethnic, geographic, and socioeconomic diversity is valued and embraced.
We look forward to partnering with your family as you embark on the journey.
