Thaden School

Thaden School is an independent school serving Grades K-1 and 6-12. Located in downtown Bentonville Thaden will grow to serve Grades K-12. Our mission is to provide a balanced and challenging education that ignites in our students a passion for discovery and learning, prepares them to succeed in college, and inspires them to lead lives of integrity, purpose, and responsible global citizenship. We are named for Iris Louise McPhetridge Thaden (1905-1979), a proud Arkansan and one of the greatest aviators of her time. Her pioneering and innovative spirit inspires our efforts to create a school that gives students roots and wings as they build strong foundations and soar to new heights in pursuit of their dreams.
