I had a wonderful experience at St. Thomas More Academy. It is 100% the reason I am who I am today. My STMA family truly formed me and directed me both academically and spiritually. I definitely feel prepared for college, and thanks to all of my teachers' sound advice and readiness to help me, I got into every college I applied to. If you want a school that cares about your individual person and provides excellent Catholic, classical, and college preparatory formation, STMA is the place for you.

St. Thomas More is one of Raleigh's best college prep high schools. It's also Catholic. A power combo! They walk the talk about keeping a positive "learning environment" and their results prove it. I wouldn't have my kids anywhere else. No one can control dishonesty on public review sites like this,...
