Our Mission
The Catholic Community of Saint Thomas Aquinas Grade School is a partnership of parents, teachers, staff, students, and all parishioners that strive to nurture the growth of the whole child in a Catholic, faith-based environment. We seek to promote academic excellence in a safe and nurturing environment while fostering responsibility, positive discipline, service to others, and life-long learning.

Philosophy
We believe the role of Saint Thomas Aquinas Grade School is to provide a holistic Catholic environment that serves the mind, body, and soul of each child. Within this environment, basic intellectual skills are developed, religious traditions are celebrated, and students are prepared to live in and make a vital contribution to a changing society.

  • Curriculum
    The Diocese of Phoenix coordinates a cycle of curriculum review, revision, and implementation for all curricular areas. Each school community has input into this process. St. Thomas Aquinas Grade School utilizes these adopted curricula to direct day-to-day learning. It is these curricula that articulate academic standards for each grade level. Our supportive environment in core curricula is augmented by weekly instruction in Spanish, technology, art, and physical education.
