Thomas More Classical School

Thomas More Classical School’s mission begins with what we see in each student: the potential to live well as virtuous citizens. We aim to develop our students into future leaders of character, guiding them in their journey to discover their God-given charisms, form their faith, and develop their potential to do great things for God and others. Our education will inspire students to seek what is objectively true, good, and beautiful, cultivating a love for wisdom and virtue that will guide them throughout their lives. Thomas More is a Hillsdale-supported founding effort, selected after a highly competitive application process. In 2023, a small group of Alaskans initiated discussions with Hillsdale College's K–12 Education Office about bringing the Hillsdale American classical curriculum to Anchorage. After thoroughly evaluating the curriculum and program guide, the group submitted a business plan and application to Hillsdale, ultimately being invited to receive Hillsdale support with startup counsel and training from the K–12 Education Office. Thomas More intends to license Hillsdale’s K–12 Curriculum and offer an American classical and Christian education to families in Anchorage, Alaska.
