Read more treat the boys as individuals and seperate their seats, yet still let them do many things together.One of the boys was sick for most of last year and part of this year-he is great now,but when we were going through this hard time, miss colagiovanni and especially the principal mrs dimuccio were extremly patient,accomadating and helpful during this horrible time-people always told me never to put the kids in catholic school because you'll end up paying a tutor-they don't give extra help-so untrue-my son practically had his own literacy coach and is now doig great-i totally recommend Read less

My daughter, a 6th grader, is just completing her first year at St. Thomas. This is the third Catholic school that she has attended, and it is, by far, the best school for her needs. The teachers are supportive and encourage her to work to her best potential. The principal maintains discipline at

I find that St. Thomas Regional school is below average since they do not teach the children how to use a library or have a computer lab for the students. These are important tools for the future of our children. The school need to step into the 21st century.

I am very happy to work the extra hours to have my kids go to St Thomas. I see what the kids are learning. I also see that the kids are still innocent, they are not caught up in so much of the nonsense of our society. They can still be children. The culture of the school takes out the stigma of the haves

The Principal is aware of what is going on with every child. She makes sure that all the kids get the encouragement they need, without coddling the kids. Reassurance is consistently given. I recommend the school. Read less

I take it as a compliment to have public school teachers kids in the school. There parents know there coworker's are doing a poor job! Read less

I cannot tell you how much I think positively about St. Thomas Regional School, it's administration, teachers and staff. My son was a student there for 6th, 7th and 8th grade, and let me tell you ~~ we never had such wonderful and enjoyable experiences with a school. My son had attended public schools,

He totally enjoyed Dr. Lawson, Mrs. Colagovanni, Ms. Danesi, ( who has since married ), Mrs. DiMuccio, Sandy...everyone ! I also throughly love these people. They made me feel accepted, appreicated with parent input and I never once felt intimidated by them. They work so well with the students and the parents, how could anyone go wrong. I am so sorry that this school does not go through highschool. Read less
