Does anyone live in Thetford? Can you give me an idea of what the town is like? We are considering a move from PA to VT (I'm originally from VT but have never been to Thetford). How are the schools? We have a son going into third grade in the fall, my husband and I both would be working from home. Is there much of a town center? Where do you shop for groceries? Entertainment? Health care? Thank you in advance!

I have been through Thetford many times and I really do not recall there is much there. Been awhile. I think it has the usual. church, post office, I think i used to stop at a general store there. This is a small country town. Everything you do of any importance in terms of shopping, entertainment and health care will probably be done in the Hanover area.

I think someone who posts here once in a while is in Thetford. Hopefully he/she will see this post.
I can say that Thetford Academy has a good reputation. Don't know anything about the elementary school
You'll do the bulk of your shopping in the Hanover/White River Jct/West Lebanon area.

We just moved to thetford in february an love it. Casting a net around Hanover we found it was the closest town in VT that was somewhat affordable with good schools. We loved strafford and looked at vershire but liked that thetford elementary was able to have 2 elementary classes per grade. There are about 30 kids per grade while strafford has about 8 and vershire/West Fairlee 15. Strafford has open school choice for high school and vershire combines into Rivendell but the class only gets up to 40 max. Where as Thetford Academy (a New England private town academy which is contracted to take all kids from thetford) gets up
To 60 kids at 9th grade whith additions from strafford, Lyme, Hartland, Sharon, and even international students.

We call it conveniently rural. You can be on a dirt road but take two
Rights and be on the highway, and on to Hanover for culture or Lebanon for every store you need. Thetford also has a town beach in the summer. And we have noticed a lot of parents who grew up here went off to good schools, worked in cities and returned to raise their kids here.

Feel free to PM me.
