What Parents Should Know

If you're considering it, start with the practical questions: tuition, financial aid, and how admissions work.
The High School of Saint Thomas More sits in a rural area, which can mean longer drives for some families. Rural schools are often community anchors with smaller classes, but check transportation, after-school options, and access to specialized services before you commit.
