With the start of each new school year, there are always exciting changes. Students will meet new teachers, make new friends, and – most importantly – learn new things! In addition to these exciting new experiences, some important changes also happen behind the scenes. This year we are transitioning from Web2School to a new software system, called Alma, to help us better manage school, classroom, and student information. Alma is a secure, easy-to-use online system that brings important school information and tools together in one place. We expect this to save school leaders and teachers time and make it easier to get...

Thetford Academy is looking forward to hosting students and families for two community events on August 25: a new student welcome and TA’s annual back to school picnic. Beginning at 4:00 p.m., TA invites all new, incoming students to campus for a fun opportunity to get comfortable before the first day of school. New students will learn to navigate TA’s campus and classrooms, walk their schedule, meet classmates and teachers, and get first-day-of-school questions answered. At 5:00 p.m., we’ll kick off new school year with TA’s annual back to school picnic. We invite all students – new and returning – and...

In July, Joel Breakstone and Emily Silver, TA's track and field teams' longstanding coaches, were named by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association as the 2024 Boys' High School Track & Field Coaches of the Year for the state of Vermont. The honor, according to the USTFCCCA "is based on [the coaches'] leadership and the success of the track and field team throughout the season." It's rare for two coaches to be named in a state, but for Joel and Emily, who have been coaching together (off and on) since 2003, it seems exactly right. ...

This Saturday, August 10, from 6 p.m. - 8 p.m., TA's Schoolhouse Rocks Summer Concert Series continues with its second show of the season featuring local legends the Western Terrestrials. Fronted by Thetford Academy alum Nick Charyk ’04, the "hard-driving outsiders from Vermont" conjure up “sweeping panoramas of dusty astral plains and the allure of whiskey-laden honky tonks," Western Terrestrials are the kind of wry, unconventional outsiders country music could get used to.” Food provided by Casey Huling '92's Tug Mountain Pizza. Free, family friendly, and open to the public. Questions? Contact Patty McIlvaine at 802-785-4805 x234 or by email...

If you’ve been around campus this summer, you might have noticed construction vehicles in the south parking lot and wondered - what’s going on in the annex?! We are pleased to announce that the annex classroom wing will finally be wheelchair accessible, starting this school year. Built in 1966, the two-story annex added much-needed space to the Thetford Academy campus of the time, including eight classrooms, bathrooms, a connecting hallway with lockers, and a student lounge (which older generations fondly remember as the ‘milk room’ where a daily morning snack involving legendary cookies was served). But the building’s layout, which predated...
