The focus of school productions is to expose and immerse students in the fine arts. The fine arts is part of the curriculum at Aquinas Academy to give an understanding and knowledge and appreciation for what is beautiful. This understanding affords a basis for judgment and discrimination which characterizes the free and wise man.

The objective of school productions are experiences to help form the moral imagination. In today's mass media, the student's imagination can be filled with what is predominantly violent, crass, sentimental and depersonalizing. Or it can have within it the lively, the noble, the truly human and the graced. Common experience tells us that our actions follow our imaginations. Therefore, it is necessary to train the young student in artful and more noble expressions.
