About St. Thomas More School
A little over 10 years ago these three excellent schools, St. Francis Xavier Cathedral, Saints Peter and Paul, and St. Mary of the Angels joined together to form a single consolidated school, St. Thomas More. Today St. Thomas More School, an accredited school, continues to thrive and provide children with a high quality Catholic education. St. Thomas More School is committed to providing an excellent Catholic education for its students. While keeping up with current trends and technologies, tried and trusted ideals of FAITH, HONOR, DUTY, and COMMUNITY SERVICE are still part of the curriculum.

St. Thomas More Curriculum
St. Thomas More School believes in educating the whole child in every aspect of their development. Spiritually, a respect for God, self, and others is stressed through a study of the Catholic faith and by developing a value system. Prayer and the importance of Jesus in our life are shown through the celebration of student planned weekly liturgies and daily prayer in the classroom. Mentally, students are challenged through classes that prepare student to carry out their roles as workers and citizens in a world increasingly shaped by mathematics, science, and technology. Culturally, students have opportunities to grow through their social studies classes, Spanish classes, and by attending events at the Weidner Center for Performing Arts. Music classes are an important part of the curriculum for all. Middle school students have an opportunity to be a part of the school band. Socially, students are encouraged to create lasting friendships with love and respect for all. An atmosphere of cooperation with others is stressed. A commitment of service to those in need is a priority. Students help out at Paul's Pantry on a regular basis.
