I acknowledge that every teacher, parent and student comes to the school with their own cultural, social and emotional experiences. But our experience with St. Thomas has led us to question whether the administration and teachers firmly understand that these factors make a huge difference in educating students. Instead of our first-time school age child being placed in an environment to help them thrive, we experienced a situation that was solely focused on the teacher's over reliance on disciplinary practices instead of understanding each child is different and therefore how you relate to them is different. When the new teacher could not relate to our child the only plan of resolution was to sent the child out of the classroom to let someone else deal with them. When the supporting administration became aware of issues within the classroom no real effort was made to help the new teacher create classroom management plans. As an engaged parent it was disheartening to realize that the teacher and administrators are unnecessarily setting up students for failure. I pray that no child inadvertently suffers from an inexperienced teacher and inadequately trained administrator s that are quick to label children as problems instead of understanding that an instructor has to meet the students where they are and build from there. I would encourage all parents trying to decide if this is the place for your child to obtain and read \ First Days of School: How to be an Effective Teacher\ by Rosemary T Wong to learn what an effective teacher is and does.

My family loves Aquinas! My son has been a student for 2 years and enjoys going to school. All of his teachers have been great and every staff member I've had contact with has been very kind. My son continues to make great strides in his reading and his math skills. We would recommend Aquinas!
Aquinas is a Rigorous School, with a great opportunity to raise your child with a continued love of learning and discipline. There is sports and music and spiritual growth that is price less. Children don't know how much their brains can be stretched until they actually try. We found Aquinas to be a great school option for us in Prince William county. Our Child has had more great days of learning and growth, and friendship, and joy in the middle school years. Lastly but in no way least all students are treated with kindness and respect by both faculty and other students. Parents also play a roll in every school as they must communicate with leadership to make them aware of areas that they see could be improved. This is our 3rd child to go through middle school in Prince William County.
This school was wonderful to my children. They have taught them about Christ and what it means to be a believer of him. I am extremely impressed with the school's curriculum.
As a military family with 6 children who have attended Catholic schools all around the country for nearly 20 years, we are extremely pleased with the warmth and kindness our children have experienced at STARS. The scheduling is more traditional than many modern schools, and the teachers our children have had are extremely engaged and caring. The homework load has been comparable to other schools (including the public schools out children attended while stationed overseas.) We are very happy with STARS.
