On this episode of The GoodTimes Show, host Damon Epps sits down with Clayton Marsh, a visionary educator who moved to Bentonville in 2016 to launch Thaden School, an innovative institution reshaping education in Northwest Arkansas.
This conversation takes a deep dive into how Thaden School’s approach to teaching encourages creativity, community involvement, and civic responsibility — all while serving families from diverse backgrounds.
Clayton shares the story behind Thaden’s founding, the role of philanthropic support in making it possible, and why he believes educational access is the foundation of lasting community change. This episode is full of insight for parents looking for inspiring learning environments, educators interested in forward-thinking methods, and anyone passionate about the future of education.
Damon and Clayton also explore what makes Northwest Arkansas such a special place to live, learn, and grow, especially as the region continues to evolve at an incredible pace.
In December 2023, Thaden announced that Michael Maloy will become the next head of school starting June 1, 2024. Clayton will continue leading through the end of the academic year before returning to Princeton, New Jersey, to begin a new chapter closer to family.
The episode also highlights Thaden’s exciting expansion into lower school grades, beginning with K–1 in August 2024 and growing to include K–5.
