St Thomas The Apostle

25 Dover Road, West Hartford, CT, 06119-0611
St. Thomas the Apostle is an elementary school community of many faiths, cultures, ethnic and socio-economic backgrounds committed to educational excellence in the Roman Catholic tradition. We recognize parents and guardians as the primary educators of their children. With this in mind, we offer them the opportunity to participate in various aspects of school life. Together, we encourage personal responsibility and respect for others as we guide children to become independent members of a global society. As a school committed to the development of the whole child, we are dedicated to helping children realize their fullest potential as independent learners and critical thinkers. Each grade level has age-appropriate, traditional and innovative programs that incorporate a variety of talents and abilities while fostering spiritual and moral growth. Philosophy: Our educational program is dedicated to the development of the whole child. It recognizes the academic, social/emotional, physical and spiritual needs of our students and actively addresses all aspects of our students' development. While our school is a community of many faiths, St. Thomas the Apostle School is committed to educating children in the Roman Catholic tradition.
