The More Program
The More program falls under the umbrella of the Academic Support Program. The
More program offers additional assistance to qualifying and selected students who are
diagnosed with a learning disability.
The St. Thomas More administration and faculty will commit all the necessary resources
and accommodations within our means to assist in student development. Students with
MORE supports must commit to using the additional resources provided both on and off
campus. Student success ultimately depends upon parents’ and students' commitment
to the high standards of the St. Thomas More College Prep Curriculum.
No IEP is written. However, an Individual Accommodation Plan is developed from the
current documents provided to STM, and consists of the student’s strengths,
weaknesses, accommodations, and learning difficulty.
The Admissions Process for MORE
Acceptance to the MORE Program is contingent upon successful admission into St.
Thomas More via the standard application process.
