St. Thomas has been a wonderful place for both of our children. Our daughter started in GOT in 2014, and our son entered the Pre-K2 program. We planned to put our daughter in public kindergarten the following year, but we fell in love with the school, so the rest, I guess, is history! Our daughter is currently in 2nd grade, and our son is in Pre-K4. There is significant cost to private school education, certainly, but we truly believe the sacrifices are worth it, and we appreciate that St. Thomas works hard to keep tuition reasonable. The staff at St. Thomas is incredibly warm and caring -- of course, my children grow close to their individual teachers every year, but EVERY member of the staff knows and cares for my child with compassion, gentle directness, and thoughtfulness. Every day both of my kids get to enjoy the AMAZING one-acre playground behind the school. It's wooded, and filled with numerous playscapes, musical instruments, climbable towers, playhouses, and a sports court. Daily play is important to me, and I'm delighted that, even as a second grader, my daughter gets to run around for at least 45 minutes a day. Daily chapel has done much to shape my children. Parents have a standing invitation to this interactive service, and storytelling and music make the most important lessons from the bible come alive. Questions are encouraged, and kids play a part in the service too, through daily readings, carrying the cross, and musical offerings. Community service is another huge part of the St. Thomas culture, and it's celebrated here monthly. Small classes and dedicated teachers create a nurturing environment and individualized curriculum, and the STEAM-focused academic offerings are robust and contemporary. Several times a week, my kids attend Spanish, art, PE, and music. We are excited for the new building that will soon be underway. Parents are very involved in all aspects of St. Thomas life, and there are numerous family-friendly and events throughout the year that create opportunities for fellowship. We are San Antonio transplants, as well as Episcopalians, and my husband and I really feel that we've found a home at St. Thomas. I have made some of my best friends here, and so have my children. Every day I'm surrounded by a selfless staff that is truly called to their work, and humble parents dedicated to raising compassionate, thoughtful kids. read more
