This fall, seven Thetford Academy students, in addition to their regular studies at TA, completed a course at Dartmouth College. These students took advantage of Dartmouth’s Community High School Program (CHSP), a unique opportunity for local juniors and seniors to take Dartmouth courses while still in high school - tuition free and for college credit. As Isabelle Weed '26 described it: "I loved the sense of independence I got. It was a great way to introduce myself to college life.
