Extracurricular Classes

These classes and lessons held during the afternoon are fee-based and instructor led. There are a wide range of activities, including: chess, arts and crafts, cooking, science and engineering, drama, and explorations in foreign language. Private music lessons are offered to encourage students to continue to excel with their instruments or try something new.

Students who participate in extra-curricular classes often take advantage of Extended Day as well, in order to bridge the gap between the times school dismisses, the extra-curricular activity begins, and parents arrive for pick-up.

Clubs

At St. Thomas School, middle schoolers have the opportunity to experience a Middle School club each week as part of the weekly schedule. They get the opportunity to sign up for clubs, ranging in selection from unicycling to drama to Japanese. In keeping with the MS goal of empowering students and fostering leadership, students are encouraged to propose clubs, subject to a minimum quorum of peers and a faculty member to help out. Students experience the MS Club during last period (2:20-3:00 p.m.) on Thursday afternoons.

Falcon's Ledge in the Middle School Plaza provides 5th - 8th Grade students a safe place to "hang out" after school to quietly socialize, study, or engage in a favorite activity. Falcon's Ledge is open daily from 3:20 to 4:30 p.m.
