I have been able to participate in the sports programs I like and be able to keep my grades up as well. There are a lot of variety to select from for our enrichment classes. My school is so small that I know every person and genuinely like everyone in my class. It's almost like a big family. I'm so grateful my family has sacrificed to send me to school at Aquin.

While many teachers are very knowledgeable, a few have a lot of growing up to do.

I am very lucky that my parents chose this school for me, and I have enjoyed my time here. There is a family-like atmosphere that is not found in most schools, and I think that truly makes it unique.

I am a graduate of Aquin and I loved it so much. It was a great school that teaches great values. And don't listen to the reviews about being dirty in athletics, our coaches would never let us get away with that. All of the teachers want their students to succeed and will help in every way possible.

I've had two students at Aquin Catholic in Freeport. Both are now college graduates. Aquin is small but does a great job of preparing students for college. From elementary grades on they both learned to read - and write - well.
