WHY BROTHERHOOD MATTERS
A Place Tailored To How Boys Learn & Grow
Our all-male environment removes the social pressures that hold boys back, replacing them with a culture where achievement is celebrated, curiosity is rewarded, and every Cadet belongs. STA's approach to boys' education is intentional, research-informed, and proven across 140 years of shaping young men.
This is a school where it's cool and good to be the smartest guy in class. Everybody wants to be like that... I think the all-boys makes it even more so, because there's that safety, there's that brotherhood."
Three Pillars of Brotherhood
Learning Built For Boys
Curriculum and teaching methods tailored to how young men engage, think, and grow — without the social pressures of a co-ed environment.
Emotional Resilience
A structured, safe community where Cadets develop identity, confidence, and character — free to be curious, ambitious, and fully themselves.
Lifelong Brotherhood
Friendships forged at STA endure for decades. Our 7,000+ alumni network provides connections, mentorship, and community long after graduation.
“It starts in Middle School and it’s hard to quantify, but these students come out as truly good people — confident, polite and able to relate to others. Saint Thomas Academy knows how to build great men.”
Sue Applebaum — Mother of Drew ’13, Sam ’18, and Wil ’21
“I love the energy these young men bring to the classroom. They can be themselves without worrying about what anyone else might think. These young men have wonderful bonds with each other, a brotherhood. Saint Thomas Academy is a special place. I feel very lucky to be a part of such a community.”
Anne Phillips — Mathematics Teacher
“I formed lifelong friendships because of this brotherhood and for that, I am truly grateful.”
Nikita Zholtok ’18 — STA Alumnus
“Saint Thomas Academy is the best thing that has ever happened to me. It is a home away from home where I can share a special bond with my brothers through sports, activities, faith and a military aspect that teaches us how to be gentlemen.”
