Saint Thomas Academy is a place where boys harness their greatest intellectual, athletic, spiritual and leadership potential. Here, they can explore and become the young men they are meant to be. It’s the origin of a life-changing bond of brotherhood your son will carry with him for life.

Our son attended public schools (Top 2 district in the state of MN) until 6th grade and started at St Thomas Academy beginning of 7th grade. We could not be happier with St. Thomas and can’t even compare to the quality of education he was getting where he was. I have no doubt that in addition to us doing our jobs as parents that the partnership with STA helps boys develop into men of integrity, values and character. Classes at STA are small and the education is personal. The teachers know their students well and tailor their efforts to individual student needs. Our son has been successful this year while transitioning to a new school due in part, to the support offered at STA. They clearly prepare students for a successful future.
We couldn't be happier! Small class sizes, challenging curriculum, character education - all things that we weren't getting at his old public school. It's really amazing to see what kids are capable of when the bar is raised!

Excellent teaching staff, small class size kept the teachers engaged with the students. College prep school that really does prepare you to succeed in college. Outside of scholastics the sports programs they are are exceptional! Although in some sports not playing at the top league because of school size, they still dominate every year. Easily would recommend to anyone looking for a fantastic highschool.
I was bound to go to Eagan High School, but I wanted to challenge myself and I knew Eagan High School would not satisfy my thirst for knowledge so I explored my option. Not having any prior knowledge of the school I was very hesitant until I attended an open house. It has been a great decision. The leadership fundamentals that I received from the military program are something you won't find anywhere else. The all male environment encourages the boys to compete academically as naturally as they do with sports. They learn to take pride in their appearance, and we are even forced to iron our own shirts! Faculty and staff are top notch and doing a wonderful job.
