A Jesuit Education for the Whole Child
A Jesuit Education for the Whole Child
Saint Thomas More is the only Jesuit elementary school in Minnesota. We embrace Ignatian spirituality and develop the characteristics of a Jesuit school graduate in our students.
Committed to Excellence
Students are inspired to be their best in all endeavors, whether academic, interpersonal, athletic or extracurricular. This commitment permeates everything in our school.
Loving
Students practice kindness, develop empathy and form strong friendships. Students know that they are loved by God and by our entire STM community.
Open to Growth
Students develop an intellectual curiosity that promotes life-long learning. They become risk takers—challenging themselves and eagerly taking on new experiences.
Committed to Doing Justice
Service is promoted within the school by inspiring students to volunteer their time, energy and talent in social outreach initiatives such as our Free Store, Christmas Toy Giveaway, food drives and other efforts.
Religious
We welcome students and families from all faith backgrounds and honor each person’s unique circumstances and faith journey. Rooted in our Catholic and Jesuit tradition, we receive every student and family with love, respect, and care, and we accompany them as they grow in faith, understanding, and relationship with God and one another.
Leadership
Our leadership is active in the daily life of our school. Mr. Lofton teaches 8th grade religion, has recess duty, has story time with our preschoolers, and visits all of our classrooms regularly. Likewise, students regularly stop in Mr. Lofton’s office to tell him how their day is going. Fr. R.J Fichtinger also regularly visits the students in their classrooms.
Service
Saint Thomas More students are involved service and social justice projects throughout the school each year. Students participate in projects such as a Thanksgiving food drive, writing cards to soldiers, bringing in coins for Pennies for Patients, our toy giveaway, volunteering at Feed My Starving Children, and various other outreach efforts.
