Aquinas Academy was a huge part of my life and made me who I am today. I was fully prepared to get into college and the school had plenty of effective resources to help me reach my academic goals. The faculty taught their subjects with passion which made me want to succeed in my classes and be the best student I could be. The student body is a great collective of young people wanting to learn and succeed which creates an environment that invigorates students to perform at their optimum.

I have gone to Aquinas my entire school life. It has tough me how to flourish as a leader and as a student. One of the things I love about Aquinas is how involved the teachers are in the student's life, both in and outside the classroom. Also, I love that the school is not afraid to push students to do their best. The teachers want to see the students flourish and achieve the goals that are set. One thing that I have a hard time with is that they have not really been able to help me with my ADHD and Dyslexia in the face of my education.

I like how it offers college-level classes so that I am prepared for college when I graduate from high school. The teachers are readily available for help on a daily basis, and go out of their way to help us students if we need assistance with school subjects, academics, sports, or other issues.

We pulled our son from a prominent, top-ranking suburban school district and moved him to Aquinas Academy, an academically rigorous Catholic school, several years ago, for the start of our son's third grade year. We made this choice for a number of reasons, including class size and curriculum, but a...
