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.

Classical education is the path to liberating the mind, awakening the heart, and forming students who can think critically and engage with the world wisely and virtuously.

— DR. TIMOTHY O’DONNELL
