Aquinas Academy helped me to flourish to become the person I am today. I know that by attending Aquinas for 13 years, I am confident that I have the skills for university and later life. Most teachers are brilliant individuals who know their subject matter very well, always willing to stay after or come before school to help me out with any specific questions I had. The school is rapidly growing, and it is evident that Aquinas' successes are growing as well. It might seem that Aquinas doesn't have as many opportunities in niche areas that future students are passionate about, as compared to other schools. From my own experience, students actually are better prepared to lead because they are so strongly encouraged and guided by the administration to start and intentionally lead meaningful clubs, extracurricular activities, or sports that they are interested in. Aquinas gives so many opportunities to its young Catholic graduates of tomorrow and helps them to grow in so many ways.
After 13 years at Aquinas Academy, I feel prepared for a successful future both in college and beyond. The academics are rigorous, but they are truly beneficial and students are guided by the amazing staff. Teachers will set aside time to help students who are struggling or who would like to dig deeper. In the last few years, I have been able to experience the growth of the school in major ways. Between greater facilities, course options, athletic programs, and extracurricular activities, Aquinas continues to reach out and expand the opportunities it provides. But, the most important part of Aquinas' foundation is a life centered in Christ. Aquinas seeks to put Christ at the center of all things, whether it be through prayer before classes or sports games, religion classes, and especially in the opportunity it provides for students, teachers, and parents to attend daily mass. With Aquinas' academic and religious foundation, I feel prepared for my future!
Aquinas Academy of Pittsburgh has a unique environment that is extremely friendly and welcoming. It has a strong community feel and rigorous academics. Their arts and music programs require attention and they don't have a library, which makes research and study halls difficult.
