Our Jesuit Identity
We are the parish school for St. Thomas More Catholic Church which is sponsored by the Society of Jesus (the Jesuits). We share the society’s mission to spread God’s love to others. As a school, we are committed to the Jesuit traditions of academic excellence, the service of faith, and the promotion of justice.
Saint Thomas More Catholic School is an important ministry of St. Thomas More parish, focused on educating students within the tenets of Jesuit traditions and Ignatian spirituality. These traditions include academic excellence, critical thinking, social action, the development of moral character and the presupposition of goodness in others. The hallmark of Jesuit education is its focus on educating the whole child: mind, body and spirit.
