Aquinas Academy Philosophy

Belief Statement

At Aquinas Academy, WE BELIEVE ...

Our school environment is centered on the Gospel and based on the values of our Catholic faith through Jesus Christ.

1.     ... That we are all members of the Family of God, that the Parish is integral to that Family, and that the schooling program is an extension of the parish in educating and reinforcing the Family of God.

2.     ... We exist to assist and support parents and guardians as first teachers and guides in the formation of their children as they experience "the journey of a lifetime".

3.     … Catholic schooling fulfills its academic purpose while simultaneously promoting a disposition to service, passion for justice and commitment to God and the church in faith through Jesus Christ.

4.     ... We respect and recognize the individuality of each student and acknowledge the unique challenges of youth.  It is our purpose to guide each student to a sense of self as a gift to the community by examples of self-disciplined responsibility of faculty and administration.

5.     …Our desire is to offer a schooling process that provides opportunities for academic excellence and spiritual, physical, interpersonal and emotional development.
