DescRegular Education Program: The philosophy of The Thacher School is rooted in the wisdom and work of its founder, Sherman Day Thacher, who embraced the extraordinary natural venue of his school and sought above all else to train his students in the art of living for their own greatest good and for the good of their fellow citizens. He believed the most worthwhile education combined a vigorous academic life with rugged outdoor activities that engendered self-reliance, concern for others, and fidelity to four principles: honor, fairness, kindness, and truth. The Thacher School recently unveiled a newly transformed Observatory and with the expertise of staff will facilitate educational pathways in astronomy, computer science, robotics and engineering.Desc

DescSierra Wilderness Program: Golden Trout Camp is an integral part of the wilderness and leadership training at Thacher. The program provides educational experience in health, wellness and wilderness training for disadvantaged youth during the summer months. Additionally, GTC offers an educational experience for alumni and friends of The Thacher School. GTC is a throwback to an earlier time in the Sierra when hunting and fishing camps were common in the high country. Located at 10,200 feet, just south of one of the highest peaks in California, the camp offers access to one of the world's wildest ecosystems.Desc

ExplanationIn order to objectively establish financial need, The Thacher School subscribes to the services of the School Scholarship Service (SSS) which provides a financial aid need analysis based on information made available by families in a confidential Parent Financial Statement. By applying objective criteria in a specific formula, SSS is able to help establish a family's ability to pay the expected Parental Contribution, which is then adjusted for the number of other family members in tuition charging institutions and for day versus boarding situations. Once financial need has been established Thacher will make a financial aid award which comes as close as possible to meeting the indicated need.ExplanationTxt
