Catholic Education is intended to make one’s faith become living, conscious and active through the light of instruction. It is the unique setting within which this ideal can be realized in the lives of Catholic children and young people. It is a unique expression of the Church’s effort to spread the Gospel message and provide opportunities for worship, to provide service and build community, to provide an opportunity for quality education and character growth in the knowledge, skills, attitudes and values necessary to living life as a Catholic of today. As Catholic educators, we, at St. Thomas More School hold as primary: belief in God, Christ, Church, the value of the human person and commitment to a mission of service, that every person as a child of God, has equal dignity and an inalienable right to an education.
