St. Thomas More

Welcoming Hearts. Inspiring Minds. Igniting Excellence.

We support, we teach, but most of all, we inspire all children to be their best in all they do.

St. Thomas More is the Jesuit Elementary School of the Twin Cities. Located in the heart of St. Paul on historic Summit Avenue and serving over 320 students from preschool through 8th grade, St. Thomas More carries on a tradition of educational excellence that began 120 years ago. 

By their graduation, our students exhibit the hallmarks of a Jesuit education - open to growth, committed to excellence, loving, religious, and committed to doing justice by standing with and for others.

But don't take our word for it:

"I love STM because everyone shows you love and compassion." - Brody, grade 8

"One thing I love about going here at St Thomas More is all the cool stuff we get to learn. They make it one of their top goals to make sure everyone is super kind to each other and welcoming and it makes it so I can have tons of friends." - Baron, grade 7

"What I love about STM is how everyone is kind and welcoming to others and we’re always included no matter what. And that we have kind and welcoming teachers and a really kind and welcoming principal. I get to hang out with my friends a lot, and that makes me happy.” -Ellie, grade 6 

"I love STM because we are a community."  Iyla, grade 4

"I love STM because people are kind and respectful." Wadan, Grade 3

"I love our snacks! I love to play with with play dough and I love my teachers." Olive, grade 1

Please join us in our mission: to foster a vibrant, inclusive, student-centered community built on shared values, service and academic excellence rooted in the Jesuit Catholic tradition!
