Welcoming New Families
At Saint Thomas More, There is a Place for Everyone
Our community welcomes new families every year and during the school year. We excel at transitioning students, and their families, to our school community.
Prospective students spend one full school day shadowing current students as part of the admissions process. This helps students and parents get a first-hand view of daily life at Saint Thomas More School. In addition to school leadership and staff, ambassador families are available to answer your questions when making your school decision.
Once you start school at Saint Thomas More, a mentor family will be assigned to you to help answer the many questions that arise when you start a new school. New families are embraced, and feel immediately connected to and a part of our vibrant community.
Admissions & Registration Process
School Tour
Parents or guardians meet with Pat Lofton to learn more about our mission, academic program, and vibrant community. Tours typically last about one hour and include plenty of time for questions.
Student Shadow Visit
Applicants entering Grades 1–8 spend one full school day shadowing current students to experience our classrooms, teachers, and student life firsthand. During the summer months, school records are reviewed, and the student will visit the school for an on-campus assessment.
Application Submission
Families complete the online application through FACTS which includes a $200 non-refundable registration fee. Applications for the 2026–27 school year are now open.
Frequently Asked Questions
Financial Information
Invest in Your Child's Education
The total cost of educating a child at Saint Thomas More exceeds $8,000. We are able to keep the cost of education lower than this through the generosity of our parish and our development initiatives. These initiatives include sale of raffle tickets, the annual fund, and the auction. Not only do these events directly benefit our students, they engage parents and students as they build the St. Thomas More community.
Financial Aid
Saint Thomas More Catholic School offers need-based financial aid. Our financial aid comes in the form of grants; these grants never need to be repaid by you. We want to make our education available to every family who wants to come here and it is our privilege to offer financial assistance to make this a reality.
Families must apply for financial aid through TADS – our financial aid administrator. TADS reviews each application and forwards its financial analysis to us. The school then determines aid amounts based on TADS results and funds available in the school budget. Please note that this process takes several weeks.
Our financial aid program is a confidential process which involves only the principal and the business administrator. In some cases, the Canonical Administrator may also be consulted.
