It was founded in 1952 as St. Philomena School and renamed in 1988 after St. Thomas Aquinas, an important medieval philosopher and scholar. The Academy's stated goal is to create an environment that fosters growth and helps each child realize his or her full potential. It also combines traditional and innovative teaching methods.
The Academy includes an Early Learning Center, in addition to grades one to eight. Before- and after-school care are available for all levels.

This is the happiest place on earth. The faculty is a family. My children (and I have 4) could not be happier here. Thank you.
