Creative Learning

At Saint Thomas More Catholic School, we give every student the opportunity to make the most of his or her individual talents to invest in their own education and aim for success. Our goal is to create a learning environment that celebrates each individual and provides learning opportunities for every student.

Our faculty and staff believe every student brings unique gifts and talents into the classroom. At the start of every school year, we survey students to identify their learning styles and multiple intelligences. These are considered when teachers are planning their lessons. Most of our educators have completed over 80 hours of training to apply differentiation and student engagement in the classroom, a reflection of our dedication to making learning relevant and meaningful for every student.

Differentiated instruction stems from the theory that students
learn best when they correlate the curriculum with their unique interests and experiences. Rather than “one size fits all” teaching, differentiated instruction may offer students a choice of tasks and activities to learn in their own way. For a particular assignment, a teacher may offer challenging choices appropriate for different learning styles while encouraging students to work collaboratively with their peers to solve intricate problems.
