"Aquinas 101 is one of my favorite teaching resources for two reasons. First, it helps me personally to review the topic in a timely manner which then gives me confidence in the content area and also a renewed precision in my delivery."
"Second, the videos equip the students with key vocabulary and definitions and helpful animations that illustrate the analogies. It is truly delightful to see how these excellent videos help even the youngest students to grasp and articulate the treasures of our Faith!"
