St. Thomas More School`s commitment to bringing out the best in each and every one of our students in an environment that provides encouragement, allows time for extra-help and expects success is tied to our founder`s vision, our mission and our history.
At St. Thomas More you will learn an essential truth: the more you apply yourself, the more you will accomplish. In the small, familial community that is our school, we expect you to do more because we do more for you. Classes are small, on average 11, so you can expect to learn more. Extra help is available every day, so you can expect your skills to develop more. We are well known for our nationally ranked PG basketball team and our undefeated 2005 New England Prep Champion football squad, but sports are so much more here. If you want to take up football, learn to sail or even try lacrosse, there is always a place for you on a team so you can expect to play more. There is the yearbook, clubs, and community service, so you can expect to be involved more. Sunday through Thursday everyone attends supervised evening study hall, so you can expect to accomplish more. On the weekend, whether we travel to Vermont to ski, a girls` boarding school for a dance or a hockey game in Hartford, you can expect to experience more.
