The PYP is a foundation for not only instruction but a positive, collaborative school culture. Building our students’ skills to be reflective thinkers, problem solvers, and risk-takers is our mission as we seek to transform the life of every student we encounter.

Welcome to Thomson Elementary School
Tiger Families,
We welcome you to the 2022-2023 school year at Thomson Elementary School. As we grow and learn together coming out of the shared experience of the Pandemic, we are excited about the journey ahead. Meeting students where they are, we pledge to partner with you this year through a whole-child lens. From building academic choice and communication skills in PK to developing leaders and open-minded learners in 5th grade, we continue to challenge every student to grow beyond what they can imagine. To quote Albert Einstein, “Education is not the learning of facts, but the training of the mind to think.” Thank you for allowing us to impact the next generation of thinkers and life-long learners!
