    Overview

    Aquinas Academy is an independent, private day school in the Catholic tradition for boys and girls in grades PreK- through 12. Since its founding in 1996 as a college preparatory school, Aquinas has emerged as a recognized leader in academic excellence and character formation.

     

    The Aquinas Academy curriculum is founded on classical education models — with a strong emphasis on the sciences and the humanities.

    We have a comprehensive program of academic formation for students from Preschool through Grade 12.

    Our curriculum is designed to prepare students for college by helping them achieve mastery over important academic disciplines. At the same time, we encourage their development of critical and independent thinking skills. Our goal is to equip students with the intellectual resources they need to thrive in an increasingly complex world.

    Religion and Latin language are core elements of our curriculum. We also pride ourselves on giving students the finest possible education in Western civilization and philosophy.

    With our small class sizes and dedicated, highly trained faculty, the Aquinas academic program is a proven success. In mathematics, our students are at least one year ahead of their counterparts in other schools. Their overall performance on standardized achievement tests ranks Aquinas among the very top schools nationwide, public or private. And our graduates are going on to study at some of the nation's top colleges and universities.
