Thornwell Home For Children

Core Values: Education

Because we firmly believe in the value of lifelong education, Thornwell works in partnership with the public school system and local colleges to help provide the children and youth in our care with the tools and knowledge needed to succeed in their academic and vocational endeavors.

We also operate an academic support program to ensure that our children:

• attend school each day well prepared
• are progressing well in all subjects.

In addition, we seek to provide enrichment programs that incorporate music, art, and drama into the life of each child. Thanks to the generosity of our donors, we can also provide post-secondary education to our young adults who graduate from public high school and participate in our Independent Living program.

As an employer, we’re committed to the continuing professional education of our staff. We want each member to grow and develop in his or her career. Therefore, we provide time and financial resources to ensure that Thornwell employees have the best available continuing professional education.
