"Aquin school has been such a blessing to our family. We appreciate the family atmosphere, the committed and dedicated teachers, and the incorporation of faith in our children’s education. The teachers go above and beyond to ensure the students have a positive learning environment and hold high academic standards. With the low student-to-teacher ratio, students receive a more personalized education allowing for deeper relationships. We feel very fortunate to be allowed the freedom to express and recognize our faith. Aquin strives for excellence in all areas: heart, soul, and mind. Students are taught, with the help of daily prayers, religion class, and weekly mass, to love their neighbor, the importance of service and Catholic virtues. Father Mark is a huge asset to our school. He takes interest in the students and knows them by name. He is gifted in his ability to aid in the children’s understanding of Scripture. The students love him. It has been such a wonderful experience to be surrounded with teachers and friends who share in similar faith and values. Thank you, Aquin." -Aquin Parent
"One aspect about Aquin I enjoyed was the closeness of everyone- faculty, staff, and students. Everyone was extremely approachable and supportive of one another. My overall experience at Aquin can be described as a positive growing environment full of caring individuals. I graduated from Aquin in 2013 and now attend the U. of Northern Iowa as an undergraduate majoring in Communication Sciences and Disorders." -Former Student
"As a parent of three children who have attended Aquin, I couldn't be happier with the education they received. The teachers are caring and want the best for their students, and they also have high expectations and push them to be the very best they can be. My kids learned to work hard, show respect, and be responsible. The smaller class sizes really allowed the teachers to know my child well. The best part, though, is that they learn and practice our faith each and every day. This is so important - being exposed to faith-based values every day as children is something that they will carry with them for the rest of their lives. They loved the faith activities, especially Faith Families. They really liked being able to get to know students in other grades in these activities, and it made Aquin feel like a community."
"Two of my children have attended Aquin and loved it! During their years at Aquin, they learned much academically as well as about their faith. My children's teachers were compassionate, empathetic, and caring. They will carry the skills necessary to succeed with them throughout their lives."
