Thornton Academy is an independent, private day and boarding school for students in grades 6 through 12. Thornton is co-educational and non-sectarian.
Since its founding in 1811, Thornton Academy has been a center of inspiration, innovation, and community in Saco, Maine.
We prepare students for a changing world through our curriculum, facilities, extra-curricular opportunities, and student support. Students are encouraged to step outside their comfort zones, to try courses that challenge and intrigue them, and to take deep dives into subjects that spark curiosity.
Engagement continues after-school, through many clubs, activities, community service, and athletics.
Thornton Academy is the #1 Best Private School in Maine!
