Dear Student,
We are pleased that you have the opportunity to become part of our family and community. Hawthorn Academy is a vibrant and time-honored institution dating back to 1803.
At Hawthorn Academy, we believe that all students are capable of learning at high levels and meeting the academic, civic and social standards. We are, therefore, committed to providing challenging, varied, and engaging opportunities for all of our students to learn in a community of respect and personal responsibility. Here, each student will endure rigorous class work, be offered opportunities to engage in community service, and be afforded opportunities that are surely not afforded to them anywhere else.
Come and participate in class trips, travel the world, all the while helping it and making a name for yourself.
The Hawthorn Academy Mission Statement reads:

In the booklet, it is stated, Bacon Academy is committed to the belief that all students are capable of attaining high levels of educational achievement in preparing for a productive and rewarding life and becoming a responsible citizen. We intend to help all students reach this goal. We believe that all students are capable of learning at superior levels and meeting the academic goal and social standards. We are, therefore, committed to providing challenging, varied and engaging courses for all of our students to learn.
We know that you will miss your families and that's why we have set up family days throughout the semester. Be reminded that on break you are allowed to go home but until then....
Sincerely,
Headmaster Kellerman
