MISSION STATEMENT

We, at St. Thomas More Catholic School, aspire to nurture in partnership with Church, community and home, the Roman Catholic faith and to provide our children with every opportunity to grow and develop in faith and life-long learning so they meet the challenges of the future. It is our goal at St. Thomas More Catholic School to ensure that the needs of our diverse learners are met and that students develop and showcase their talents as they aim to reach their full potential, while supporting the best interests of the student and school community. It is our intent that students grow in respect for neighbour, sense of self-worth, personal responsibility and love of God. In placing children first, we want students to learn all they are able to from classes, activities, and friendships and to celebrate life through the teaching of Gospel values in a Christ-Centered community.

CATHOLIC FOCUS

St. Thomas More is a diverse elementary school of 600 students from Junior Kindergarten to Grade Eight. While the adjacent school neighborhood is urban, reflective of the diverse community of Mississauga East, the Extended French program brings students with a range of backgrounds from across a wider area of Mississauga. Staff celebrate the strength of this diversity through athletics, the arts, spirit days, and school outreach activities and the like. Our educators and special services team work proactively to serve the unique needs of students and their families during their time at St. Thomas More Catholic School. The school is located immediately beside St. Patrick Roman Catholic Church which contributes to both staff and students’ faith development particularly through the celebration of Mass during the school year as well as providing spiritual leadership during the preparation of students who will receive the respective sacraments of Reconciliation, First Communion or Confirmation.
