Enrichment Classes: St. Thomas Aquinas provides several classes designed to enhance the curriculum for its students. These classes are considered “specials.” In general, specials are not offered every day to each student, but meet two to three times weekly. The schedule for offering these classes is determined at the beginning of each school year, and parents will be notified of the schedule.
