Admissions
Take the step from dreaming to doing. Saint Thomas Aquinas is committed to educating and developing the whole person – spiritually, intellectually, socially and physically.
Welcome to Aquinas
Students at Saint Thomas Aquinas are taught to become academically excellent, faith-filled, and committed to performing service. We believe that true education goes beyond academics - it's about shaping character, nurturing faith, and building a strong virtuous community.
Nestled in the heart of suburban Kansas City, our co-educational Catholic high school is home to 900 students who strive to embody heroic virtue in their daily lives.
Wonder is the desire of knowledge. St. Thomas Aquinas
