At Aquinas, our mission is simple yet profound: to prepare students for college and ready them for life. Our tagline, "College Prepared. Life Ready.," perfectly encapsulates the holistic approach we take to education, ensuring that our students excel academically while also developing the skills and character needed for a fulfilling life beyond our doors.
Where you experience Personalized Education and Personal Growth
At Aquinas, we believe that every student is unique. Our personalized education approach means that each student receives the attention and support they need to thrive. Small class sizes and dedicated teachers create an environment where students are encouraged to explore their interests, challenge themselves, and achieve their full potential. This individualized attention fosters personal growth, helping students to not only succeed academically but also to develop confidence and a sense of self-worth.
Where you learn Creative Expression and Self-Discipline
We understand the importance of balancing creativity with discipline. Our robust arts programs provide students with numerous opportunities to express themselves while also needing the discipline to pursue their passion, whether it’s through music, theater, dance, visual arts, or creative writing. At the same time, our rigorous academic curriculum instills a sense of discipline and a strong work ethic. This combination ensures that our students can think outside the box while also mastering the skills needed for academic and professional success.
Where you build Character and Community
Character is at the heart of the Aquinas experience. Guided by our Basilian values, we emphasize the development of virtues such as integrity, respect, and compassion. Our students learn the importance of giving back through community service, fostering a sense of responsibility and empathy. The close-knit Aquinas community provides a supportive network, encouraging students to build strong, meaningful relationships that last a lifetime.
Where you become Competitive and Compassionate
At Aquinas, we prepare our students to be both competitive and compassionate. Our athletic programs are designed to promote physical fitness, teamwork, and perseverance. Students are encouraged to strive for excellence and push their limits. However, winning isn’t everything; we also emphasize sportsmanship and the importance of supporting one another. This dual focus ensures that our graduates are not only prepared to excel in their chosen fields but also to lead with kindness and empathy.
