Student Perspective—Jose
"Together through riding, we became a more connected class."
Freshmen Prefects
“Prefects are such a huge part of helping a freshman understand what it means to be a Thacher student. They made Thacher feel comfortable to me and I could rely on them the way I rely on my family.”
Home Away From Home
“I didn’t want to stifle an opportunity. I didn’t want to stand in the way of something that could be great. I said, ‘Okay, so you want to go?’ Unselfishly, I had to let her go.”

Whether they come from New York or Shanghai, Paris or Ojai, Thacher feels like home.

Student Perspective—Finn
"It’s really easy to come into Thacher, be swept up, and find your place."
