Goals of Saint Thomas Academy

Saint Thomas Academy offers a balanced educational program that fosters self-esteem and self-discipline, encourages respect for others, and recognizes the unique and creative abilities of each student. Guided by its mission, the Saint Thomas Academy community has set high academic goals and offers an educational experience to a diverse student body of young men who have the integrity, capability, and motivation to benefit from, and contribute to, the Academy.

• The intellectual potential of each student is developed through a college preparatory curriculum, which fosters a respect for knowledge, critical thinking, creative expression, effective communication and independent inquiry.

• The spiritual potential of each student is developed through the daily teaching and practice of Catholic doctrine, traditions and values. The Gospel message of Jesus Christ is the basis for encouraging a positive and growing faith.

• The moral potential of each student is developed through instruction and example that incorporates values, fosters and reinforces ethical behavior and builds respectful relationships.

• The physical potential of each student is developed through a program of athletics, activities and instruction promoting health, safety, fitness and good sportsmanship.

• The leadership potential of each student is developed through the Army’s Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (JROTC) program, focusing on the knowledge and practice of character, leadership and citizenship.
