Founded in 1920, Thackston School is an independent, private day school located in the University of Tennessee community near downtown Knoxville. This is a school with outstanding educators, a challenging curriculum, and an environment that fosters the love of learning and joy of discovery in every child. Our greatest gift to our children is to give them a safe environment where they are challenged to explore their interests and passions.
