The St. Thomas curriculum is designed to instill in the students a lifetime love of learning in a Christian environment, while fulfilling the required state and archdiocesan rules and regulations and allowing for differentiated learning. We develop students who can see and understand complex issues an a global, diverse world.We emphasize values that lead to growth in character compassion, caring, respect, responsibility, patience and perseverance in a warm and caring environment. Because the safety and security of all our students is very important, we enforce a dress code and no-bullying policy.
