My child is currently attending STA and based on the quality of teachers, level of academics and moral leadership she will be very prepared for high school and the challenges ahead that our children will face in a competitive world.

St. Thomas Aquinas has been a great experience for my two sons. I really like that STA is a school that maintains a strong academic curriculum in a small school setting (avg class size is 22 students). I know that each of my sons receives the attention that he needs to effectively learn and develop. Such an attentive environment would not be possible in the overcrowded classrooms found in the surrounding public schools. Also, as a parent, I ve had the opportunity to interface with the principal and various STA staff. All of them are very approachable and are always interested in improving the curriculum and developing new enrichment programs. For example, STA has recently added an after school Drama Club and Cheerleading and will be adding more academic programs as a result of the move to a 200-day school year. I would really recommend attending one of STA s open house events or make an appointment to see what STA has to offer.

St. Thomas Aquinas in located in a great/safe area of Moterey Park. The kids here are a great big family. They not only grow academically but also religiously. The teachers and adminitrative staff are always available to assist and answer any questions that arise.

One child at STA. I am happy with its teachers, the programs and the principal. When one considers the alternatives: public school (no thank you), St . Stevens (cut backs & teacher lay offs no music or P.E) and St. Teresa in Alhambra has closed; this school is right on target. There is always room for improvement, but all in all I am pleased with the results. My kid tests consistently in the 98% percentile . There is no school that can force your kid to learn. A parent MUST take an active role. I find that allot of parents at this school as in other schools expect the teachers to do it all. It is totally unrealistic expectation. If you want exceptional results, be exceptional with your child!!!
