School Summer Office Hours for Registration: Monday - Thursday from 8:30am-12:30pm
All new families who would like to attend Saint Thomas the Apostle School must fill out an Inquiry Form and return it to the school. Any new student in Grades 2-8 should also schedule an interview with the School Principal, as well as provide a copy of their most recent report card and any child study team evaluations. Once your Inquiry Form has been reviewed and your child is accepted to St. Thomas School, you will receive further information about registration.
St. Thomas the Apostle reserves the right to ask incoming students to be evaluated for readiness in their enrolling grade. We may ask for an evaluation if the student has never attended an accredited program or has been home schooled, or if the student's report card presents a concern. Our goal at St. Thomas is to ensure that all of our students are successful, and this starts with making sure that they are prepared for our rigorous curriculum.
Curently tours will be offered by appointment only, on most weekdays, between 9:00-10:00AM. If you would like to speak with someone in the school office, please email [email protected] with your contact information and someone will return your call.
Please see our 2023-2024 Parent Information Manual which contains our current tuition and program information.
