Testimonials
“We can’t think of a better place for him to grow and thrive academically, spiritually, and socially.” – Eric & Nan, St. Thomas parents
“What I appreciate the most about St. Thomas has been the focus on the complete education of the human person, instead of just a more narrow vision of academic excellence.” – Kurt, St. Thomas parent
Vision
As a Catholic school, we pursue an education integrated with the Catholic Faith as it has been handed on and lived in Christ’s Church, pointing the students to love and wisdom.
As a classical school, we are rooted in the sources of the Western Tradition and pursuing a vision of transcendent reality by way of the 7 Liberal Arts.
With an integrated approach, we are united by a shared vision, much as the soul unites the human body. Our teachers form a community of friendship, supporting each other in the work of passing on the worship, ideas, and habits of a Catholic
culture.
