Thornton Academy
Maine, USA
The school's size and location are the biggest advantages over other schools. They're located right in the center of a busy town, where students can easily walk to Starbucks, many restaurants, shops, a grocery store, etc. We're also located 15 minutes by car to the city of Portland and 90 minutes from Boston. Our size (1500 students) is also a major advantage as our students can truly get immersed in American culture (90% of our students are American), and it also has the ability to offer over 200 classes, over 50 athletic teams, over 50 after school clubs, and more.
