MISSION STATEMENT

St. Thomas Aquinas Secondary School aspires to be a truly Catholic community where the ideals of Jesus Christ are both taught and witnessed in a safe, caring, and inclusive learning environment. Staff, students, parents and clergy are respectful and appreciative of each other’s gifts, and everyone works together to ensure that all members of the school community feel welcome, accepted, loved and challenged to live the Christian ideal. We aspire to be an educational community where everyone is a learner, a teacher, and a leader responsible for providing each other with opportunities for growth.

CATHOLIC FOCUS

St. Thomas Aquinas Secondary School is a proud member of the Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board and St. Anthony of Padua Parish. The school was established in 1976 to support Catholic parents in their responsibility for the spiritual, religious, moral, academic and physical needs of their children in accordance with the teaching of the Church. The school community at Aquinas is committed to the achievement of excellence, the recognition of the unique characteristics of the individual, and the education of the whole person, while experiencing a life in a community founded on Gospel Values. St. Thomas Aquinas Secondary School has 1885 students and 117 teachers. We have an Extended French program and a Regional Arts program.
