Thayer Academy

My daughter is going from 6th to 7th grade to study at Thayer. The school left a very good impression on me. The environment is beautiful, and most importantly, the teachers are very nice, the academic requirements are rigorous, and home-school communication is close and smooth. This is what made me particularly satisfied.
