Thayer Academy

Founded in 1877, Thayer Academy is an independent, co-ed day school in Braintree for grades 5-12. Thayer students thrive in an environment distinguished by rigorous academics and diverse extracurricular activities within a supportive and vibrant community. Classes are small, designed to foster intellectual and personal growth. Because of the way days are scheduled, students don't need to choose at Thayer - they can be performers, artists, athletes, and curious and engaged students. Easily accessible from public transportation and bus routes from Boston, MetroWest, and the South Shore, Thayer draws students from 76 communities.
