School Notes Overview:

Since 1873, St. Thomas Aquinas School has been providing a quality Catholic education to the children of Baltimore. Throughout its 128-year history, St. Thomas Aquinas School has maintained its dedication to the academic, spiritual, physical and emotional growth of its students. St. Thomas Aquinas is a Catholic school dedicated to recognizing the God- given uniqueness of each child. We offer a developmentally appropriate curriculum within a nurturing family oriented environment that promotes the spiritual, academic, social, and physical growth of each student. Our program includes the teaching of Catholic Doctrine, moral values, and self-discipline that we at St. Thomas Aquinas feel are central in preparing students to accept, live, and spread the good news of the Gospel.

Believing that parents are the primary educators of their children, we firmly and actively seek the support and cooperation of parents in educating their children. ...

Besides college, the only other time I went to Catholic school was in kindergarten. At St. Thomas Aquinas School, we went to Mass once or twice a week (It was 20 years ago, so the details are a bit fuzzy).
