Our Campus
A Unique and Personalized Experience
Thornton-Donovan's campus is made up of five different buildings, each with its own unique classes and discoveries to make. From the moment you walk in the door, you will notice all of the unique art and artifacts obtained from worldly travels and influential figures.
The Thornton-Donovan education is tailored to students’ interests and talents, aligned with our yearly theme. Small class size makes this approach to learning possible. Encouraging children to become the people they will become, unhindered in exploring their passions, is the key to a Thornton-Donovan education.
Transportation
Simply just pull into the driveway in front of the school for drop-offs and pick-ups. DRIVE SLOW AND BE VIGILANT.
Planning bus transportation for next year? Families who wish to use City School District of New Rochelle bus transportation must submit a nonpublic transportation application by April 1, 2026, pursuant to NYS Education Department guidelines. The application is available on the district website: https://www.nred.org/page/transportation. Applications submitted after the April 1 deadline may result in the denial of transportation services.
Parking
If you're a student who drives, there are plenty of parking options for your vehicle. Available parking is in front of the school and in the school's designated lot.
As you explore our campus, you will discover the beauty of the blossoming flowers in the spring, the colorful trees in the fall, and the snow-covered grounds in the winter. You will find that the classroom buildings seem to invite you in. You will come under the spell of the unique campus experience you can only get at Thornton-Donovan.
