Welcome to St. Thomas More!
St. Thomas More, a man for all seasons, a school for all children.
Educating children Preschool through 8th Grade
Founded in 1960 by the Sisters of Mercy, St. Thomas More Catholic School has served as a beacon of faith-based learning among Omaha schools. Located in mid-city Omaha, St. Thomas More Catholic School welcomes families from all backgrounds. The mission of St. Thomas More Catholic School is to provide spiritual formation in the Catholic faith, to educate students according to the highest standards of academic excellence, and to form a strong foundation of life-long habits that will build strong character and self-discipline.
Outdoor Nature Classroom
A Learning Garden for All
Our space, currently still under construction, gives children the opportunity to learn outside of their typical indoor classroom setting.
As the children enter the gate to the nature classroom, they will be greeted by a "Jesus Loves the Little Children" garden statue (a gift from our 2021 8th graders!). There will be a perennial flower garden surrounding this statue, and will run along a path where teachers and their students will have the opportunity to visit stations displaying the Joyful Mysteries of the Rosary. There will also be many hands-on opportunities to engage children both mentally and physically. All ages will enjoy working and learning in this new space at STM.
Catechesis of the Good Shepherd
Did you know? St. Thomas More is one of the only Catholic schools in the Omaha area to offer Catechesis of the Good Shepherd during the day, which all pre-K through second grade students here get to experience.
Overall, STM students experience a robust curriculum that includes study in traditional coursework and an array of electives, all designed to challenge our students and provide an exceptional learning environment.
