St Aquinas College provides high-quality education to students in order to prepare them for a brighter future and to be productive, responsible citizens.
This is achieved by providing quality education in cooperation with family and community.
Education at St Aquinas College is focused on the development of students for a brighter future and a commitment to social justice and a concern for the world at large. We prepare our students for a mission that extends beyond mere education into the arena of both public and private service.
Our academic programme is designed to enable that:
- Learners are exposed to high-quality educational materials and instruction in the subjects needed.
- Educators prepare them for the final exams by concentrating on:
- Past paper methodologies;
- Problematic sections that learners historically struggle with;
- Sections which carry a high mark value in the final paper. We offer educational and personal support material Learner Diary which helps learners on How to set goals (long term and short term).
