Developing Children


In Mind | In Body | In Spirit

In Spirit

Jesus Christ is at the center of everything we do at St. Thomas the Apostle School. Our Catholic faith and values are constantly reinforced throughout the school day, and the children are first and foremost expected to, as Jesus commanded, "love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength" and "love your neighbor as yourself." (Mark 12:30-31).

The love of God instills in our community a great sense of joy, which is apparent to any visitor observing our students or our extended St. Thomas family. St. Thomas parents can expect their children to be well grounded in their faith through:
  • Daily religion classes in every grade
  • Year-long, hands-on community service projects in every grade
  • Special school-wide service projects, such as Hurricane Katrina relief
  • Monthly Mass for the entire school community
  • Service to Church as altar servers, lectors and Children's Choir members
  • Sacramental preparation integrated into the curriculum
  • Advent and Lenten prayer services
  • Family-oriented focus with many opportunities for parental involvement
