The Thornton-Donovan education is customized to students’ interests and talents. Our learners progress in subject areas based on their ability and curiosity, not their grade level. Small class size, usually 8-14 students, makes this approach to learning possible. Encouraging children to develop into the persons they will become, unhindered in exploration of their passions, is the key to a T-D education.
Throughout the years, many unique after-school activities were created and ran by students. Some of these activities include a school newspaper, technology club, rocket club, chess club and photography class. There are also many athletic options that may be available to you such as basketball, tennis, rugby, and soccer.
Simply just pull into the driveway in front of the school for drop-offs and pick-ups. Bus services are available to all children. DRIVE SLOW AND BE VIGILANT.
If you're a student who drives, there are plenty of parking options for your vehicle. Availble parking can be found out front of the school and in the school's designated parking lot.
