Academic Foundation
Creating a Strong Foundation
At Aquinas Elementary, the curriculum includes the incorporation of Catholic Identity across all subjects. Kindergarten – 5th Graders are blessed to participate in daily Mass, weekly visits from a priest, and monthly Penance Services. Aquinas celebrates learning and living virtuously through Social Emotional Learning (SEL). Through the Saints, students learn how courage, gratitude, forgiveness, and compassion lead to choosing love, just as Jesus has taught us.
Academic Excellence
Through exploration, discovery, and reflection, Aquinas Catholic encourages academic excellence accredited through Nebraska Department of Education. Parents partner with teachers to help students develop organizational skills and independence in school work, so that each child realizes their God-given potential. At every grade level, teachers surround students with kindness, encouragement, and support in the core subjects of Mathematics, Language Arts, Science, Social Studies, and Religion. Aquinas Catholic Schools will enrich the whole student experience where critical thinking skills are taught and emphasized as students build a strong foundation for future learning.
Academic Support
Aquinas Catholic Schools supports students at all academic levels. Three times a year, Aquinas has an early dismissal for Student Assistance Time (SAT). Student Assistance Time allows any struggling student to get the one-on-one asssitance from educators.
