Saint Thomas Choir School is a boarding school located in Manhattan, New York, one of three world-wide that exclusively educate boy treble choristers, while requiring them to board at the school (the other two being Westminster Abbey Choir School in England and Escolania de Montserrat in Spain).

The school is under the aegis of the nearby Saint Thomas Church (Episcopal), whose choral ensemble, the Saint Thomas Choir of Men and Boys, performs music in the Anglican tradition at worship services, while offering a full concert series during the course of the school year.

The School comprises 28 students and 15 faculty members.[1] Students from age 8 to 14 reside and study at the choir school, a fifteen-story building located at 202 West 58th Street in midtown Manhattan, one block south of Central Park. Since 2005, the school has offered a summer residential Girl Chorister Course.[2]
