Academics



St. Thomas the Apostle Catholic School is dedicated to the academic success of all students. Each year, we review and strengthen subject matter content. Our curriculum fosters our students' spiritual and intellectual growth, develops responsible citizens, and prepares them for further education and the world of work. St. Thomas the Apostle Catholic School provides a planned and balanced program of instruction commensurate with abilities, interests and educational needs of children.

Saint Thomas the Apostle Catholic School has a solid academic program including instruction in religion, mathematics, language arts, science, social studies, computers, physical education, Spanish, and an integrated Fine Arts program.  At the annual September Open House Nights each grade level and specialist distributes the Course Guidelines for their subject areas.

The Diocesan and State Curriculum for each subject area can be found through the Diocese of Phoenix web site www.diocesephoenix.org/catholicschools then click on Curriculum Guidelines.
