St. Thomas More School

At St. Thomas More college preparatory boarding school, we strive to embody a full and diverse experience in order to best prepare our students for the things that matter. Diversity is promoted and celebrated as a core value that greatly enriches one's academic pursuits. We proudly welcome students committed to reaching their highest potential from all corners of the globe and walks of life. We also believe that all students should be empowered to reach their highest potential, despite any past hardships. Here, our students will learn an essential truth: the more you apply yourself, the more you can achieve.

Our philosophy is that every student should be treated as an individual with their own unique approach to learning. With our small class sizes, students can count on individual attention and personalized relationships. Beyond the classroom, we provide additional academic support every day after class, so students can always strengthen any areas where they may be struggling.

Our 100% boarding school environment facilitates a welcoming family atmosphere where life-long relationships are born. We offer an extensive list of clubs and activities – ranging from arts to all-things outdoors – with a ton of variety in between. We are known for our nationally-ranked basketball and football programs, and many of our other athletic programs have elevated towards a similar trajectory. Weekends at STM provide a valuable chance for students to grow together through on-campus activities as well as a variety of off-campus trips.

St. Thomas More School is an NEASC accredited college preparatory boarding school founded in 1962. While we have historically been an all-boys academy, we are excited to welcome our first class of female students in 2021. The St. Thomas More academic philosophy is built around the premise that the ability to think critically, embrace the ideas of others, manage one's time, and express one's thoughts effectively is the foundation of a successful, lifelong learner.

Our academic approach ensures that all students develop effective routines, improve study skills, and form a personal connection to their performance. Academic life is structured to encourage accountability and support each student’s long-term goals. Our college preparatory program includes a block class schedule, individualized help sessions, supervised study halls, physical activity, and scheduled recreation time.

Early college credit/AP courses are available to students interested in moving faster in their academic pursuits. Supplemental one-on-one and small group instruction is available for students who need additional support.
