I have 3 children at St. Thomas and we moved them over from Fairfield Public Schools. While the public school we are zoned for is good - and a community favorite, we found it alarming that there was no real phonics program, and no languages and no handwriting. St. Thomas has all that, plus script handwriting, math competitions, spelling tests, and a garden program. One of my favorite things about St. Thomas is they help teach the kids the right way to do things, and how to be good people, not just how to walk in a line from recess to lunch. The bottom line is - our kids love going to school everyday, and they are so happy there.

Some of the teachers here truly care and make themselves available outside of class. Others seem tired. At worse, one male teacher spent all his time on his cell phone, showing the kids movies, and not teaching to any set curriculum and giving the kids tests to which had had not taught the content.

I would highly recommend St Thomas. My kids have graduated. We spent 12 years going from Pre K/K to 8. They are all now on to advanced classes in multiple high schools. They are happy and I am very happy. Wonderful families, teachers and staff. There are special poignant moments like first communion...

We have been here for five years. My children have friends. They are learning at or above grade level. They are involved in many activities. We are very pleased with their academic, social and spiritual development. As parents we have also made terrific life long friends. It's spectacular community.

We have three children at St. Thomas. We transferred into the school and had experience with Fairfield Public. What we have found is an academicly rich environment, a caring environment, and an environment that develops and stresses character. We are so happy we made the choice to be at St. Thomas....
