A coeducational boarding high school founded in 1889 on a citrus ranch at the foot of the Topatopa Mountains in Ojai, California. Activity on this account should reflect our community values of honor, fairness, kindness, and truth. The Mission of the School today remains essentially unchanged from that of its modest beginnings over one hundred years ago. While hewing to its traditional task of preparing students for admission to college and equipping them with the contemporary knowledge and tools for a successful course of higher education, Thacher continues to train young men and women in the art of living for their own greatest good and for the greatest good of their fellow citizens in the increasingly diverse society of a complex nation and ever-changing world.
