School Notes

  • The mission of St. Thomas More School is to provide for our community affordable access to quality educational opportunities, both spiritually and academically, within a loving Catholic Christian environment.
  • Our vision is living the real presence of Christ at St. Thomas More School.
  • True to the tradition of Catholic Schools we believe that children should obtain a solid foundation in basic skills as well as be trained to meet the challenges of an age where quality thinking skills and adaptability are essential and use of technology is critical.
  • We joyfully accept students of all nationalities and faith and we require all students attend and be graded on participation in all classes and school celebrations including Masses. To make an acceptance decision, the school will need a copy of previous transcripts and test scores as well as a current teacher evaluation. The parents will need to have completed the application and our Contract Agreement which spells out the tuition plan and associated fees required for attendance at STMS. We partner with the Fulcrum Foundation for the financial aid process. More information can be found regarding that on our website.
