Student Clubs & Activities
Thetford Academy sponsors a variety of co-curricular activities in addition to its academic curriculum. We encourage students to participate in these opportunities to expand their talents, interests, and skills. Students may also propose new activities, according to procedures outlined in the Student Handbook. All school-sponsored activities have an adult advisor or coach and access to school funding, although many also engage in community fundraising to support their programs.
For more information on the teams, clubs, and organizations listed below, students may consult their teacher/advisors, the Dean of Students, or coaches and advisors of the activities.
On campus clubs include:
-
Art Club

Gay Straight Alliance
The GSA, Gay Straight Alliance, attempts to strengthen our community's commitment to accepting diversity and difference. The club is committed to raising awareness, one step at a time, regarding unnecessary hate and bigotry towards our fellow classmates, friends, family members, and colleagues. The club is open to any and all people of any sexual orientation, so long as they are open to discussing difference and are willing to challenge their own assumptions. -
Indoor Track Club
The Indoor Track club is in its sixth year of existence. The club was originally created to keep our cross-country and track and field athletes in training over the long winter months in Vermont, but it has since become an after school activity welcoming all athletes, regardless of sport. The club is a great way to socialize with friends after normal school hours or to stay in shape over the winter. The other perk of the club is that, unlike varsity sports, attendance is not mandatory. Student athletes are encouraged to come to practice whenever they can fit it into their schedules, and several students enjoy the laid back nature of the program. Members also have access to Leverone Field House in Hanover, NH for the month of December.

Scholars' Bowl
Scholars' Bowl is a fun, fast-paced activity for high school students who test their knowledge of academic and non-academic subjects against other high school teams from places as close by as Hanover and as far-flung as Singapore. TA's new team is reassembling and actively recruiting new members who are ready to represent TA in "the varsity sport for the brain." -

International Trip Groups
The Language Department's spring trip to Perú meets every other Friday. During our meetings we discuss fundraising, details of preparation, cultural sensitivity and awareness, language and much else. Our hope is that students and teachers become a cooperative, educated unit before travel. -
