All Children Can Learn.
The Thurston Community pledges to work together to monitor student achievement and to maintain a positive school and home environment which supports and challenges each student. Our goal is that children who leave our community will be self-motivated, lifelong learners, prepared to accept the responsibilities of their world. Thurston School is located in the northeast section of Ann Arbor, Michigan, and is one of twenty elementary schools in the Ann Arbor, Public Schools. Opened in 1964, Thurston has been awarded Summary Accreditation by the Michigan State Department of Education. The school serves a diverse population of about 400 students in kindergarten through fifth grade.
