Admission Process

St. Thomas More School accepts applications for the upcoming school year in the spring of each year. Priority is given to returning families, with siblings receiving highest priority for new openings. If openings remain, active parish families are reviewed for acceptance, then non-parish families, and finally non-Catholic families. Each student is screened for academic skills, with special needs taken into consideration. St. Thomas More Parish School has a strong tutoring program for Multi-Sensory Learning. Tutoring class sizes are limited to small groups to allow for one-on-one attention. For families relocating from outside our area, applications are accepted throughout the year for any grades that have openings. Students will be screened prior to being accepted.

For admission to Kindergarten, the school follows the same priority list as stated above. Siblings of current school families receive highest priority, active parish families next, non-parish families next, and finally non-Catholic families.

Information regarding St. Thomas More Parish School is available by contacting the school administrative office at the address listed on the bottom of the left menu bar, or by e-mailing a request to our office. You may request an application and return it to be contacted when an opening is available for your child.

Financial Aid


Every attempt possible is made to keep the cost of tuition at an affordable rate for our school families. It is the intent of our school to provide a strong Catholic education to all active parish families that wish to attend St. Thomas More Parish School. Families needing financial assistance from the Archdiocese or from St. Thomas More Parish must first apply for the Archdiocesan Scholarship. Dates and application deadlines will be announced in the newsletter. Once the application is processed by the Archdiocese, scholarships will be awarded on a per need basis. Those who do not qualify with the Archdiocese will be contacted by the Parish School in regards to parish scholarship.  Applications and information are available in the school administrative office.
