The community of St. Thomas the Apostle Parish believes in and supports the ministry of our Catholic schools. Active Parish families receive special consideration in terms of acceptance, sometimes to the exclusion of other families applying to St. Thomas Preschool.

To qualify for this special consideration as an active Parish family, the following steps must have been taken:

• Activation: choose St. Thomas the Apostle Parish or another Catholic Parish as your community of faith through registration, either in person or online
• Affirmation: claim annually St. Thomas as your community through your pledge of prayer and support
• Participation: live in the community of St. Thomas through engagement in the life and ministry of the Parish

Complete and submit the Parish Verification Form (below). 

The Pre-Kinder Packet below includes the information required - including enrollment form, Arizona Department of Health + Human Services Emergency and Information Immunization Record Card, Physical Examination + Health History, payment options, etc.  That completes the paperwork portion of the application process!

Upon successful completion of the above steps and prior to final acceptance into St. Thomas Preschool Program, Michelle will arrange an on-site tour of the Preschool facilities and brief meeting with a child's family.
