Thanks-they gave me a different contact person when I asked some questions in the fall. I’ll reach out if we are lucky enough to be admitted 
Thacher is very much in transition, and most importantly in the realm of the administrative team. If you have options, I highly recommend exploring them. Further, Thacher is in the middle of an internal investigation, and while the findings were due in December, in February they pushed them until “the end of the school year” – I suspect this is to avoid publishing them during admissions “season”. If we had known what was in store for us we would have chosen Cate. The students and alumni are screaming from the inside via Instagram, I highly recommend reading through the @(rpeculterat, bipocat, queerat)thacher accounts. Even if 50% is true, it’s troubling. I can say there are stories on IG that my kids reported in real time. The horse program is amazing and unique, but it doesn’t outweigh the lack of academic mentorship, opportunity (since the school is so small), and horrible sports program. If we received half of what admissions “sold” us I wouldn’t be hereon CC. Good luck and please do talk to involved parents.
