Employer Description
 

Our mission is to provide a balanced and challenging education that ignites in our students a passion for discovery and learning, prepares them to succeed in college, and inspires them to lead lives of integrity, purpose, and responsible global citizenship. 

In pursuing our mission, we are guided by these principles:

  • The diversity of a school is essential to the quality of education that it provides.

  • In a small school students are better able to form close relationships with teachers that will give them a stronger sense of belonging, self-confidence, and responsibility.

  • There is an art in masterful teaching, which requires resources, mentorship, and recognition.

  • A well-balanced curriculum empowers students:

    • To think ethically, critically, and creatively about global issues and their local manifestations;

    • To see connections among the humanities, sciences, and mathematics as integrative disciplines in the search for knowledge, meaning, and beauty;

    • To build coherent, compelling, and innovative arguments;

    • To establish their voice in the world by writing and speaking well and expressing themselves creatively;

    • To work independently and collaboratively.


  • Activities outside of the classroom give students essential opportunities to develop as leaders, volunteers, and contributors to the life and spirit of the greater community.


  • A school must create a safe and healthy environment where students have time and space for reflection, freedom to make important decisions, and opportunities to learn from mistakes.


  • The harmony of a school community depends on a shared commitment to honesty, compassion, and fair play. 


The school currently serves more than 335 students in grades K-1 and 6-12. By the 2026-27 school year we will offer grades K-12.

Since its founding, Thaden School had actively and consistently participated in a variety of DEIB initiatives such as the National SEED Project, the NAIS People of Color Conference, and the Student Diversity Leadership Confernce. In addition, we offer PD funding for faculty so that they might pursue summer opportunitites to develop their skills and knowledge base as culturally responsive educators, while our regularly scheduled In-Service programs for faculty often focus on these areas.
