Clubs and Activities

During their time at TA, students are encouraged to participate in extracurricular clubs and activities. Club activities give students a chance to explore their interests and expand their learning beyond the classroom.

Each year, clubs and activities at TA reflect the current interests and passions of the student body. Students are encouraged to propose their own ideas for clubs and activities to the Dean of Students throughout the academic year. Clubs generally meet during the school day during “Power Hour” and are open to all interested students.

The following is a list of some recent clubs students have organized at Thetford Academy.
