St. Thomas More Catholic Parish School

What St. Thomas More Catholic Parish School does

St. Thomas More Catholic Parish School is a private Catholic parish school serving students across preschool and K-8 grades in Centennial, Colorado, operating under the Archdiocese of Denver. It is a single-campus institution integrated with the St. Thomas More parish community, delivering faith-based academic and religious formation programming including sacramental milestones, before/after-school care (Lion's Den), and a hot lunch program. The school publishes a tuition schedule (2026-2027) covering K-8 and preschool, and maintains an active alumni network for post-graduation community engagement.

The underlying technology stack is composed of off-the-shelf SaaS tools: FACTS SIS for student information, Boonli for lunch ordering, Faithdirect for parish giving, SecondSlide for school information delivery, Google Calendar for scheduling, and WordPress as the public web platform. There is no proprietary technology, no custom AI/ML systems, and no disclosed data assets.

The business model is tuition-funded with diversified ancillary revenue streams: per-student K-8 and preschool tuition, Lion's Den care fees, hot lunch sales, and donations augmented by an annual fundraising gala (Mane Event). Distribution is parish-community-led and event-driven, with no external sales channel or geographic expansion beyond the Centennial catchment. The school is a non-profit parish institution and does not publicly disclose revenue.
