History

Established in 1978, the school was previously known as Saint Thomas Aquinas School, and had also been referred to by the name St. Thomas More School.^[1]

Until the campus moved to the current location in 2004, the school was located in buildings on the grounds of the San Jose Flea Market, which is also owned by the Bumb family.^[3] At the same time as this move the school shortened its name to the current form.
