St. Thomas the Apostle School recognizes the worth and dignity of each individual as a child of God.
Through daily examples, we guide all students to their fullest potential and create an atmosphere that encourages each child to grow spiritually, socially, emotionally and physically.
The goals of St. Thomas the Apostle School are to provide religious instruction that enables students to integrate truth and values into contemporary human life; to provide students with academic skills that they may make good citizens who make responsible decisions in a rapidly changing society.
A tour of the school with the Director of Enrollment is
required for all families, Preschool - Grade 8. An interview
with the family is required by the principal and the student will
be required to attend a shadow day for any family wishing to
transfer a student in K-Gr. 8 to St. Thomas the Apostle School.
Submission of an application and the non-refundable application fee
does not guarantee acceptance. A family`s entire application
including, but not limited to, the academic and social needs of the
individual and class, the families commitment to Catholic School
education, and the enrollment of siblings at St. Thomas the Apostle
School or other schools will be taken into consideration when
determining acceptance. Upon acceptance, families will be required
to sign a letter of intent to enroll and pay a non-refundable down
payment to secure placement
We moved my daughter from a neighboring preschool to St Thomas for her Pre K 4 year - so happy we did! Her confidence and courage grew in the St Thomas community. We were so impressed that we moved my older son from public school to Grade 2. The teachers make sure they exceed their potential in academics, community and faith.
