Teaching Approach

Updated 7mo ago

Thornton High School describes its approach as equitable, standards-based, and individualized, with small class sizes and a low student-to-staff ratio so students receive personalized attention and can build the academic tools and skills needed for post-secondary success. The school also emphasizes reintegrating students into educational, social, and community life while supporting self-worth, social-emotional growth, community engagement, and college/career readiness.
