It’s part of the relationship-based education model that’s been the bedrock of the School since its founding. As an advisor, faculty members are there to offer guidance and advice on everything from choosing the right course load to deciding which mix of extracurriculars is best for the student’s schedule. Every year at Thacher means a new advisor—and a new chance to build a lasting relationship with a trusted mentor. Advisors, who generally have a small group of about five to six charges a year, are also the key link between parents and the School, writing letters home twice a year outlining challenges faced, progress made, and triumphs in class or on the field. They’re also quick to phone or email home with concerns or good news. —Faith “My advisor never fails to offer a wise piece of advice or a reason to smile during our weekly check-ins. It’s great knowing you have such positive forces, like her, behind you.” Covina, California A college preparatory, coed boarding school for grades 9-12 The Thacher School 5025 Thacher Road Ojai, California, 93023 Tel : 805-646-4377 Fax: 805-646-9490 Email: info@thacher.org Facebook Twitter Instagram YouTube LinkedIn MyThacher Contact Us Site Map Careers Privacy Policy Explore Thacher Facts That Matter History and Heritage Thacher Today Admission to Thacher Virtual Visits Tuition and Financial Aid Academics Student Life at Thacher Horse Program / Equestrian Athletics and The Arts Dorms and Campus Map The Ojai Area Faculty and Staff Calendar of Events Request Information Notice of nondiscriminatory policy as to students: The Thacher School admits students of any race, color, national, and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the School.
