Mission

As a mission of The Catholic Community of St. Thomas More, we provide an exceptional education for each learner in a God-centered environment, through a community focused on spiritual development, academic pursuits, and service to others.

Faith

Faith is the foundation of our education and our priority here at STM. We offer weekly Masses with our prayer partners, where older students are paired with younger students to mentor them spiritually and build relationships. We offer reconciliation two times per year and make an effort to plan for retreats to engage our students spiritually while building community. We offer Sunday School-led Masses twice a year to connect with our parish community and our students actively participate in our Masses through altar serving, Mass choir, reading, and cantoring.

Academics

We offer an engaging program that includes interactive boards in all grades. We introduce our 1:1 program in K with i-Pads and chromebooks in 1st through 8th grades. Our students learn the balance of tradition and innovation as we promote critical thinking while equipping students with the skills for 21st century learning. We offer PLTW as our STEM curriculum, providing use of the STEM lab equipped with 3D printers and various other supplies. Additionally, our K-2 students take advantage of our dedicated Learning Lab equipped with an interactive mobile floor unit and developmentally appropriate manipulatives to enhance the learning experience.

Before school care is available from 7-7:30 a.m. and after school care is available from 2:45-5:45 p.m.

Extracurricular

We offer a full athletics program that participates in our own Catholic school conference. We offer various afterschool activities that rotate each season to include Tae Kwan Do, basketball clinics, Lego Club, chess, show choir, drama, and much more.
