The school's educational journey started in 1995, beginning with pre-kindergarten and continuing to second grade, then expanding by one grade each year until high school. Saint Thomas School was founded as a private, independent, non-sectarian school serving Dominican and foreign populations seeking a United States–based curriculum. The school provides Preschool, Elementary, Middle, and High School education and prepares students for the 21st century by offering instruction in world languages and technology, supported by a comprehensive college preparatory curriculum. The school envisions a model of education offering a United States standard-based education that promotes lifelong learning, academic excellence, and the social skills necessary for a fulfilling, productive life.
The school believes parents are essential participants in the learning process and should remain integral to their children's educational experience. The mission describes a nurturing learning environment where students, faculty, and community work together to develop the skills and knowledge essential for academic excellence, ethical behavior, and personal responsibility through a balanced education that will prepare students to contribute to a global society.
