Current Students
In mid-March, Thomas Aquinas College students performed in the second of this year’s two informal concerts, or “Schubertiades” — the first ever to be held in the newly completed St. Cecilia Hall. In the video above, Justin Fox (’21) performs Chopin’s Polonaise no. 1 in A major.
Below is the program from the concert:
Since taking ownership, last May, of the former campus of a preparatory school in Northfield, Massachusetts, Thomas Aquinas College has amended its plan for the property. The College now hopes to open a New England campus in August, 2019, contingent upon the approval of the Massachusetts Board of Higher Education.
On Saturday, members of the Thomas Aquinas College community gathered in the coffe shop of the newly completed St. Cecilia Hall for the annual celebration of St. Patrick’s Day. Decked out in green, students, tutors, and their families enjoyed Irish food and drink, plus Celtic music and dance:
Dear students, parents, colleagues, and friends,
A heavy rainstorm, beginning this evening and continuing through Thursday, has been forecast for much of Southern California. Authorities warn that, because the Thomas Fire destroyed most of the vegetation in the Ventura County hillsides, this storm poses a significant risk of mudslides. Although Thomas Aquinas College is not seriously threatened, erosion could temporarily cut off access via Highway 150. Thus, as a precautionary measure, we will voluntarily undergo an evacuation, starting this evening.
Please note:
The Ultimate Frisbee season is coming to an end.
On Saturday the campus athletic fields hosted the two semi-final matches. In the first game, the team captained by Jack Murphy (’19) bested the squad of Travis Welch (’20), 11-3. Then, in the second game, Mike Murphy (’20) and his team finished off Team Justin Fox (’21), 11-7.
The College looks forward to the championship battle of the Brothers Murphy and their respective teams on Wednesday!
This past Friday evening, the College’s would-be detectives set out on an investigation.
In the newly completed St. Cecilia Hall, a group of theatrically minded students staged a murder mystery based loosely on the board game “Clue.” The audience participated in the investigation, scrutinizing Professor Plum, Colonel Mustard, Mrs. Peacock and the rest to find the killer of the late Mr. Body. Photos from the game are available in the slideshow above.
The following is footage from Act III, Scene 1, of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, which the St. Genesius Players of Thomas Aquinas College performed on March 3:

Each year, starting in the fall and continuing well into the spring, the seniors of Thomas Aquinas College labor to create what will be the culmination of their four years of academic effort — the Senior Thesis. Based on a subject of each student’s own choosing, and drawing from the College’s classical curriculum, the thesis represents its author’s effort to apply his or her education to a matter of scholarly and personal importance.
On March 7, 2018, members of the Thomas Aquinas College community celebrated the feast of St. Thomas Aquinas with a fitting combination of prayer, scholarship, and fun.
