Discover the difference at St. Thomas School

  • A woman with blonde hair and a green bow in her hair, seen from behind, looking at religious statues and a garden scene in a display case.

    Centered on Jesus

    Students grow in their personal relationship with Christ through daily prayer, times for worship, and opportunities to practice traditions, such as Mass, Adoration, Rosary & Priest visits and now as of this year — the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd as well.

  • A classroom scene with a teacher and six students seated around a wooden table, engaging in reading activities. The classroom has a black bulletin board, a whiteboard with writing, and educational decorations on the walls.

    Personalized Learning

    At St. Thomas our teachers have ample opportunity to pour into each student in a unique way and they are able to offer differentiated instruction based on unique needs, with ease. Every child gets the attention and encouragement they deserve in order to thrive.

  • Four children standing outdoors in front of a tree, smiling and hugging each other, with a brick building in the background.

    Traditional Values

    Our student body as a whole feels more like family. The parents, teachers, and staff of St. Thomas support one another in one common goal: to help our children become faith-filled, productive members of society by our example and by the example of Jesus Christ.

We’re here to help your child thrive

St. Thomas School is a graced environment in which the person of Jesus Christ is central and the wonders of His Gospel are shared.  We provide a setting in which students and staff are guided to appreciate the dignity and uniqueness of each human being.

Students are guided to this vision through the religious curriculum and the staff is guided to this by their faith development.  

St. Thomas staff view their work as both a career and a spiritual ministry.  The staff’s respect for each student, their confidence in their student's abilities, and their genuine concern consciously sets a standard for relationships among classmates.
