Thacher News
Note from the Head of School

The American Montessori Society (AMS) 2023 Annual Conference is being held in Boston next week, and Thacher is proud to serve as a host school for this international event.

On the morning of Thursday, March 16, approximately 55 Montessorians from around the globe will visit Thacher to tour our school. We are honored to have been chosen as a host school for this event and excited to showcase our school.

Thacher will be closed on Friday, March 17, so our staff can attend this 3-day conference.

With Gratitude,

Deba Dunn
