Scheduling Updates
On Wednesday, March 2nd Thornton Academy hosted the Academic Expo at the Upper School, and the Academic Gallery at the Middle School for all current and interested students and parents to showcase what classes and academic offerings we have.
Next week on March 7-11th, School Counselors will be visiting English classes to assist in class selection and requests for 2022-2023.
Additionally, all students should have a copy of the Program of Studies that can help guide them in requesting their schedules. If you have any questions as you continue your scheduling process, please be in touch with your school counselor.
(please also note if you are already requesting classes that there was an error in the Arts department course listings as to which fulfill the art graduation requirements, please contact your counselor if you have any questions)
Consider Concert Choir for 22-23!
Looking for your Fine Arts Credit or just want to come learn something new? Join Concert Choir for next year! You do not need to be able to sing already. Come learn how to read music and improve your voice with a large class of others. You never have to sing alone in front of people. No audition or experience required!
This is a great opportunity to have fun and express yourself during the day. Bring your friends! Taking a music class is always good for your grade point average too!
