College Admission Agreements

As one of the greatest minds the world has ever known, it shouldn’t be a surprise that the great St. Thomas Aquinas is the patron saint of students and of higher education. After four years of rigorous academics and involvement in athletics, campus ministry, the arts, and the many wonderful opportunities here at STA, it’s exciting to see where our seniors will continue their education; in the past two years, our seniors have enrolled in over 100 different institutions in 24 states, Washington, D.C., and Canada. One hundred percent of our graduates continue on to higher education or a vocation like the military, service work, religious life, and even careers in the visual and performing arts. The STA experience ensures that students are prepared for life after high school, and colleges and universities across the country recognize us truly as a school of excellence.

STA is proud to announce partnerships with thirteen outstanding colleges and universities that recognize our talented students and help them continue their education beyond Dover Point Road.  STA has entered into formal agreements with these thirteen institutions that will guarantee admission – and academic scholarship money – to our seniors!
