Aquinas is extremely strict and very very very very very very very BORING . I dont recommend going to Aquinas , i am currently a student there and am trying to get out . Do not got to Aquinas if you want to enjoy your teen years as well as get a good education , theres nothing wrong with fun . And they give you hours of detention for every little thing . .
This school has made me a better person, I loved it!! It was a great school and I do not regret going there.
I agree this school is WELL AHEAD of technology but thats it. Aquinas is really boring . You cant wait to leave there is nothing good about this school. Really dont send your daughter here. You think a snow day is a miarcle at aquinas. If you want a high school you look foward going to there everyday aquinas is not for you.
I attended Aquinas High School for two years and then I switched over to public school. I think Aquinas was an okay school but a con was that they did not acknowledge a lot of students for the improving of their grades. Some of the teachers really work hard to make sure their students can succeed but not every one can be the best of the best. The school is okay but I felt that I should be getting more from the two years I spent there especially since I was paying tuition.
Aquinas is an excellent school and offers a great education. Iam a proud Alumni as well as my daughter. I graduated in 1984, My daughter graduated in 2004 and my Niece will graduate in 2010, my Goddaughter will also attend Aquinas sometime in the future. The teachers are Excellent some of them are still there from when I was there.
Aquinas has really high expectations for all of its tudents. Many honors and AP courses are offered, and we participate in the REACH program. We have really high-level technology, such as laptotps in every room, a fully equipped library, and SMART boards in most rooms. The teachers are supportive and accessible, and I think you couldn't ask for more.
My daugher will be starting at AHS in September and we chose this school because they are well ahead of most in technology. SMART boards in almost every classroom, teachers that are involved and a great bunch of young ladies to welcome us. I gratuated from MSU but I could not do my daughter a dis-service. I KNOW THAT WE WILL LOVE AHS & WILL RECRUIT OTHERS TO GO TO THIS FINE HS.
Aquinas High School is an exceptional school. They set high standards for the students which helps them become achievers.
I am a proud alumnae of Aquinas H.S. although the athletic program is not as strong as other schools in the area, as my coachs and teachers would say 'you come here to learn...sports is just added tool to well rounded development not the tool box in itself.' Their academic far surpasses that of most not only in the area but in the region. My college wasn't as technologically advanced as my Aquinas was. It provides the balance of school work, an environment that feels like home and the type of 'we are your parents' while in school mentality. It was an excellent experience.
I am a former student and graduate from Aquinas HS...it is an EXCELLENT school and it does prepare the student for their choice in whatever they may choose. I am proud to be an Aquinas Highschool graduate and I am proud and honored to have had the hard working parents I did to support me !!! Thank you again Aquinas Highschool !!!!!!
