Thayer Academy Profile
Located next to Braintree's historic district and just up the hill from the MBTA’s final Red Line stop is the historic 34-acre campus of Thayer Academy. Since 1877, this coeducational day school for grades 5-12 (Middle School, grades 5-8; Upper School, grades 9-12) has cultivated an enabling and empowering environment where each student is affirmed, supported, and challenged. Thayer continues to be a place where tradition and innovation meet, and where students form lifelong relationships with one another and with inspiring teachers who care deeply about their students' personal growth and academic success.
Thayer prides itself on its vibrant and varied community as an urban/suburban school that has embraced opportunity and diversity from its founding class nearly 140 years ago. This history of diversity is reflected today with a student body hailing from more than 70 towns in Massachusetts and several countries around the world. And with more than 35% of students receiving financial aid, Thayer is a socio-economically diverse community that looks and feels like the world beyond its doors.
Thayer is rooted in the intentionally holistic education of its students, who are viewed not solely as athletes or academics, but as whole individuals with affinities and talents in many areas. Unique to Thayer, because of deliberately coordinated scheduling, it is possible to be both a varsity athlete and sing on stage in the school musical - students are not forced to choose one path or another. The resulting community found at the Academy is vibrant and affirming, the culmination of students working together in the classroom, on the playing fields, and on the stage. There is a supportive and collaborative camaraderie that pervades the halls and campus - one where students view their classmates as partners, encouraging one another to discover their hidden talents and develop them into lifelong strengths.
