St. Thomas Academy — Gaya, Bihar Founded in 1979 by Late Arthur Eric Dwyer, St. Thomas Academy was born from a simple yet powerful vision — to bring the gift of education to every child, regardless of their circumstances. Situated in an underdeveloped area of Durgasthan, Gewal Bigha Road, Gaya (Bihar), the school stands as a beacon of hope for families who once had little access to quality education. Following the standard government curriculum, the Academy provides instruction in both English and Hindi, ensuring every student receives a strong and balanced foundation for a brighter tomorrow. Our dedicated team of seventeen well trained teachers goes beyond textbooks — nurturing creativity, confidence, and character through academics and extra co curricular activities alike. In true alignment with the Dwyer Foundation’s mission, we offer education along with books, stationery, and uniforms to children in need — including orphans, street children, and those from disadvantaged backgrounds, while also welcoming students from more privileged families. This inclusive environment encourages understanding, empathy, and equal opportunities, helping all children learn and grow together as part of the mainstream of society.
