Three C's
CATHOLIC
At St. Thomas More Academy our Catholic character will always be as joyful, rich, and integral as our patron’s. Human, spiritual, intellectual and leadership formation in the Academy is ordered to Christian love and excellence. Here the meekest are comfortable and even the most gifted are challenged. Wisdom is constantly nurtured and grown “as from a seed.” Cooperating in both studies and real world service, students embrace love as the rule of the school and an authentic life in Christ.
CLASSICAL
At St. Thomas More Academy “classical” is not antiquated. The ideas of the great traditions are fresh and alive, and our way of teaching them is too. Our learning environment is personal, our instruction engaging, and our curriculum deep. Through close mentoring in preparatory courses that prize truth, we inspire students to become people who think and act with real excellence in their time. “Classical,” for us, is cutting edge.
COLLEGE PREPARATORY
At St. Thomas More Academy we empower every student to succeed in post-secondary studies. We mentor each student to his or her best potentials and offer dedicated college placement support.
