About St. Thomas Aquinas Regional School

Aquinas has a long tradition of devotion not only to education but to the development of the whole person, in nurturing the student’s mind, body and soul. We are foremost a Catholic school with a strong commitment to deepening our faith. We foster a family atmosphere that begins in the home and continues in the unity between our faculty and our parents in teaching our students. As a Blue Ribbon School of Excellence, our accomplished faculty provide a quality education with continued participation in innovative programs. Our older students are able to apply for participation in academic enrichment programs including the St. Albert the Great Science, Technology, Engineering and Math(STEM) Program and the Advanced Language Arts (ALA) Program.  A good example of this continuous relationship is the Virtues Program, developed by the Dominican Sisters of St. Cecilia, that highlight a different virtue each month and is continued with activities in school and at home. Through the intercession of our patron, St. Thomas Aquinas, and St. Dominic, we joyfully embrace our mission of teaching that has been our calling since the school opened in 1977. If you would like to learn more about us, we invite you to contact our school office or explore our school website.
