The Thacher School
The Thacher School is a private co-educational day and boarding school in Ojai, California. Founded in 1889 as a boys' school, it began admitting girls in 1977 and is California's oldest co-educational boarding school, as well as the oldest private boarding school west of the Mississippi River. The school educates approximately 250 students in grades 9–12, who come from 21 states and 12 countries. Originally a ranch, Thacher's 540-acre campus supports formal horse and outdoors programs. School founder Sherman Day Thacher believed in the power of the outdoors to help shape students: "Come West, breathe deep, let these hills be your teachers." In 2019, the school's older buildings were listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. Famous alumni include industrialist Howard Hughes and playwright Thornton Wilder.
