Thomas Aquinas College 10000 Ojai Road, Santa Paula, CA 93060

"Praise God. There are so many blessings with the Thomas Aquinas College. Since I graduated a college of Liberal Arts myself, I am discerning and critical of authenticity, quality, and rigorous catholicity. TAC has it. Deeply concerned and quality teachers and spirited eager students from good families. Add that it is a quick half hour run to the ocean, and plenty of amenities, parks and attraxtions nearby, it makes for a great place to study and a wonderful place to visit. I am so thankful."

"Beautiful campus, dedicated faculty, serious and generous students. The College fosters meaningful discussions led by the works of the masters themselves, especially the Philosopher, Aristotle. Excellent liberal arts education for those who seek Truth with the courage to claim her wherever she is found."

"I have only been an observer of this school. I have never attended nor do I know anyone who has attended this institution. I, however, have been drawn to this school for its curriculum. As an educator, I am constantly fighting for the rights of students and researching colleges that empower them. In such a cut throat competitive system that mostly cares about its elites ways, it's rewarding to find such a fine institution that empowers its students to become free independent thinkers. Such strategies as "The Socratic Method" are found here, and the critical thinking methods that are implemented fortify its students. The paradox is, that this fine institution is quite conservative, which I'm not, yet its curriculum liberates the person! When higher education was instituted, I think this is what they had in mind!"

"Thomas Aquinas College has truly been a blessing to our daughter who is entering her junior year. Freshman year she was so excited to come to this college and start reading all the "Great Books". We met so many wonderful students and families.The professors and all the staff made her feel so comfortable and at home. Having the Mass available daily and seeing the students and faculty attending just shows the deep love for Christ. My daughter was shy and I was afraid she would be lost at college but God has lead us to this amazing place and now I see her making so many friends and growing to new levels in class, where they speak out and discuss everything they are reading and learning in seminar. This college has so much to offer from a beautiful campus with stations of the cross, opportunities to go to San Francisco to March for Life, healthy delicious meals, to simply hanging out around a bonfire or playing piano. Oh and I can't forget the lovely chickens! I could go on and on..."

"Our child went to Thomas Aquinas for the summer Great Books Program and loved it - very affordable. However, if your child is eligible for merit scholarships, this is NOT the college for them. There are NONE. What we thought was a great experience last summer has turned into a complete nightmare. I should have done my research ahead of time."
