St. Thomas Aquinas School Announces a New Preschool

• The addition of the preschool program marks an important expansion of the St. Thomas Aquinas Parish School's ministry to children.
• The four year olds and young fives attending the preschool will be invited each day to experience an environment in which they can learn
  about and grow in their Catholic faith in an age-appropriate manner.
• Our new preschool will take its place within our parish's long-standing commitment to academic excellence and faith formation.
• Heading up the preschool will be Jennifer Rule, Preschool Director for St. Thomas Aquinas Parish School. Some of Mrs. Rule's qualifications include teaching at local parochial schools and obtaining a Master's degree in Child Development from Michigan State University with a Z.A. endorsement.

See Why We Love
St. Thomas Aquinas School

Mission Statement
We believe that each child is a special gift from God, an individual to love, nurture and guide to his or her greatest potential.

We believe the purpose of St. Thomas Aquinas School is to assist parents with the spiritual, intellectual, emotional, physical and cultural development of the child within the guidelines of Catholic teachings and moral values.

We believe the school's academic program provides quality education to develop the foundations for students to become lifelong Christian learners.
