Middle School:
A school within a school
The Saint Thomas Academy Middle School, founded in 1971,
has a unique identity all its own. Middle School students play an active role in the Academy's rich tradition, benefiting from the challenging educational curriculum, spiritual growth and personal development of a Catholic school, and maturing into well-rounded young men well prepared for high school.
Middle School marks an important transition in a young boy's character development and spiritual growth. Special emphasis is placed on preparing young boys for high school learning, including building self-esteem and confidence, as well as improving communication, writing, listening and study skills.
Saint Thomas Academy is committed to keeping Middle School classes small, allowing for personal instruction and developing a sense of camaraderie among the students.
