About Tabor Academy

Tabor Academy is a coeducational, college preparatory boarding and day school located in Marion, Massachusetts. Tabor enrolls students demonstrating academic ability, strong motivation, sound character, emotional stability, and a willingness to participate fully in the school community. Tabor is founded on the belief that a healthy school community finds common ground while embracing differences and, therefore, accepts a racially, ethnically, religiously, economically, and internationally diverse student body. Tabor students are expected to respect one another and to care for their school. Tabor's academic, artistic, athletic, and community programs provide distinctive opportunities for students to achieve genuine understanding and significant skills and to identify and pursue personal goals. As the "School by the Sea," Tabor sustains a unique maritime heritage that embodies, in all its programs, the qualities a seagoing life requires: thoughtful preparation for and awareness of the wider world, perseverance, courage, good humor, a sense of direction, and humility. Tabor's faculty commit themselves to balancing high demands with genuine affection for their students and to fostering relationships founded on the compassion, personal integrity, and trust that anchor Tabor's community.

What Makes Us Unique

While Tabor offers a stellar standard curriculum, students also have a unique opportunity to dive into uncharted waters by taking unique courses, tackling independent projects, seizing unique local opportunities, or even jetting off for global study. The Marine and Nautical Science programs here at the School by the Sea are our most unique academic offerings. The SSV Tabor Boy schooner provides hands-on, at-sea experiences for new students and marine biology student researchers. Our Global Education offerings give students the chance to experience cultural and language immersion opportunities. During summer and March vacations, faculty members lead trips to various points of interest across the globe. Recently, Tabor students visited Costa Rica, Denmark, Italy, Greece, China, Spain, France, Vietnam, Thailand, England, Peru, Cambodia, Ecuador, the Galapagos Islands, and the Dominican Republic. These trips offer opportunities for cultural exchange, research, language immersion, and service-learning.
