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

When you choose Saint Thomas Aquinas, you are choosing more than an education. You are joining a community that feels like family. At Aquinas, we meet students where they are on their faith journey and walk alongside them, guiding their way. We do this by nurturing their hearts, shaping their minds, and preparing them to go out into the world as Saints.

We seek to enroll students who strive every day to become the best version of themselves, achieve success in and out of the classroom, and contribute to our community as a whole. As you explore your options for high school, we welcome you to visit us to see what makes Aquinas such a special place.
