That’s why we invite prospective students and their families to experience what life is really like at AQ during one of our Welcome In Wednesday visits! These special shadow visit days give prospective students the chance to walk in the shoes of an Aquinas student— attending classes, meeting teachers, and experiencing the energy and community of our campus firsthand. Whether it’s participating in a lesson, joining the lunchroom buzz, or walking the halls lined with 100 years of legacy, students leave with a genuine sense of what it means to be part of the Aquinas family. While students are getting a glimpse of their future, parents and guardians are invited to a morning presentation to learn more about the admissions process, financial aid opportunities, and what makes an Aquinas education so uniquely valuable. It’s a chance to ask questions, meet our dedicated Enrollment Team, and see why generations of families have chosen Aquinas. Welcome In Wednesdays run throughout the school year, but space is limited — so don’t wait! To register or learn more, visit www.aquinasinstitute.com/visit or scan the QR Code. Individual campus visits are also available by appointment by calling the Enrollment Office at (585) 254-2020 x1071. Come see what it means to be AQ Proud — we can’t wait to welcome you in!
