Preparing Students for a Bright Future Through Faithfully Catholic Classical Education
We provide an educational community where your child will learn to know what is true, do what is good, and love what is beautiful.
Learn From the Greatest, Not Only the Latest
Whether language, arithmetic, science, history, music, literature, theology, or any other topic, Aquinas is committed to giving students the chance to learn from the timeless works of the greats in every field.
Holistic Integration of Faith Formation
Daily Mass is at the heart of a vibrant sacramental life, including weekly Adoration and regular opportunities for confession. Throughout the curriculum, students encounter rich primary texts from the Catholic tradition, including Sacred Scripture, the Catechism, and the lives of the saints.
Virtue, Character, & Community
At Aquinas, students learn virtues that will become the building blocks for the rest of their lives. They study heroes and villains from the past and learn how to make good choices with their friends, teachers, and families.
