School Notes:

  • Saint Thomas More School is an accredited college preparatory boarding school in the Catholic tradition for young men who have demonstrated intellectual ability yet have not realized their potential. Within a structured environment, we strive to motivate, nurture, and strengthen the intellectual, moral, physical, and social development of every student.
  • The summer program has the use of all facilities of St. Thomas More School. For academic use, this includes three classroom buildings, science laboratories, a language laboratory, a computer room, and a library. For housing, the campers live two to a room, in three modern dormitories. Teachers live in the boys' dorms to monitor and supervise their lives. For athletics, a full-size gymnasium includes a basketball court and a large twenty-station weight room equipped with Nautilus machines and free weights.
  • The student recreation area includes pool and ping-pong tables, a canteen, and a TV room. The school's 90 acres include 4,000 feet of waterfront on Gardner Lake. The boathouse holds numerous canoes, sailboats, and rowboats for recreational use. Many campers enjoy the high-quality fishing in the lake, which is stocked with game fish. Other outdoor facilities include a running track, two soccer fields, two baseball fields, a lacrosse practice field, four outdoor tennis courts, and six outdoor basketball courts.
  • All students attend classes from 8:25 a.m. to 12:05 p.m.. In the afternoon the school transforms into a summer camp. After lunch, there is a structured activity period, during which campers play in an organized intramural program. This is followed by a period in which the boys can choose their own recreation. Options include tennis, swimming, boating, basketball, and weightlifting. On rainy days, the indoor pool is available. After dinner, there is mail call, then free time until study hall begins at 7.15 p.m. At that time, all students return to their rooms for a 2 1/2 hour, teacher-supervised study period. At 10:30 p.m., lights go out.
