Saint Thomas More Academy: Key Points from the Strategic Plan

Highlights

• Mission and formation: Saint Thomas More Academy endeavors to educate families within a Catholic framework, forming students in intellectual, moral, and theological virtues. The daily Mass anchors the school day, and graduates are expected to know, love, and serve God and neighbor through their personal vocations. This mission drives an education grounded in the Catholic intellectual tradition across the liberal arts, fine arts, and sciences. (See Vision/Section II, p. 2)
• Educational philosophy and core ideals: The school centers its approach on the beauty of truth, the freedom to pursue excellence, and friendship in Christ. Education aims to cultivate virtuous living and a well-ordered soul, emphasizing service over praise and a commitment to truth, goodness, and beauty. The community integrates faith, reason, family engagement, and service to the broader civic context as essential components of formation. (See Core Ideals/Section III, p. 3–4)
• Strategic plan framework and long-term vision: The plan places student formation at the core and outlines three interconnected areas—student experience, the people who educate (leaders, faculty, staff, parents), and critical enablers (financial health, growth, donor networks, and facilities). The Vision 2031 goal is to solidify curricula, character development, spiritual formation, and extracurricular offerings, while strengthening faculty development, parental unity, donor engagement, and campus planning.
