The Heart of More
Academic Life

A Tradition Worth Inheriting

The academic life at TMCS is built on enduring ideas, not educational trends. Our students receive a classical education that prizes truth, goodness, and beauty. With Christian faith as its foundation, the curriculum trains both the mind and the heart for God’s glory.

Our Educational Philosophy

The Liberal Arts
A Well-rounded Education
TMCS students study the seven liberal arts: grammar, logic, rhetoric, arithmetic, geometry, music, and astronomy. These disciplines form the backbone of our program, teaching students how to think clearly, speak persuasively, and observe the world with wonder and precision.
Curriculum Design
Horizontally and Vertically Aligned
Subjects are taught in an intentionally ordered way, building from year to year and across disciplines. Our approach avoids silos as students learn how literature informs history, how math supports science, and how truth holds it all together. Explicit instruction in phonics and grammar lays early foundations. Latin begins in sixth grade and continues as a core requirement.
Classroom Instruction
Led by Teachers, Not Technology
Our teachers are leaders who give direct, whole-class instruction fostering meaningful discussion, participation, wonder, and joy. Students do not use individual devices in the classroom. Instead, they read deeply, write clearly, and engage with ideas that shape the whole person.
Civic Virtue
Rooted in the Western Tradition
Through robust study of America’s founding documents and the great works of the Western tradition, scholars come to understand civics as a way of life rooted in inherent freedom and ordered responsibility. They learn about human nature, heed the lessons of history, and develop a sense of civic duty worthy of the free society they inherit.
Co-Curriculars
Beauty, Discipline, and Movement
Every student engages in music, visual art, and physical education. Integrated with the study of history, literature, math, and science, these disciplines introduce students to great composers, artists, and physical disciplines all while providing opportunities to practice techniques, emulate the masters, and cultivate strength and skill.
More Faith and More Formation
Christ at the Center

At TMCS, faith is not treated as a separate subject but is woven naturally into every part of the school day. Students pray together, learn the stories of other Christians, and attend to the habits of Christian virtue. Our faculty and staff model lives of integrity, pointing students toward truth through word and example.We affirm the Nicene Creed which unifies us all in the first principles of Christianity.

In Unity, Not in Isolation

The Parent Partnership

We see parents as the first educators. TMCS exists to support, not replace, the formation that begins at home. Our school community thrives when families and faculty work together in trust, honesty, and shared conviction.

Attendance, conduct, and academic expectations reflect that partnership. The school provides structure, clarity, and purpose. Families uphold it with consistency and care.

A Life of Conscience and Conviction

Our Namesake: Thomas More

Sir Thomas More was a lawyer, statesman, and lifelong student of classical learning. Though he served at the highest levels of English government, he is remembered most for the courage of his convictions and the clarity of his faith.

More saw education as a means of shaping the whole person. He insisted that character and conscience mattered more than achievement, and that the pursuit of truth should guide both study and life. He believed deeply in classical learning and advocated for his daughters to receive the same rigorous formation as his son.


At TMCS, we follow in that tradition. Like More, we aim to form students who love what is true, stand firm in what is good, and grow into lives marked by purpose and integrity.
