STMPG, like other private preschools and ongoing schools in New York City, sets tuition per child at levels that are below the actual cost of educating our children. STMPG is an independent not-for-profit institution separate from the Church of St. Thomas More, with only a small operating reserve, so it is through family contributions to the Annual Fund that the school’s full operating needs are met. STMPG thus relies on the generosity of its families to help support the vital work of our school, from helping to pay the salaries of our beloved teachers to ensuring the continuation of curriculum enrichment programs such as Art, Science, Movement, Music and Spanish. We hope that every family will participate in the Annual Fund at a level that is meaningful to them.
