Co-op Placements

The Co-operative Education Program (co-op) at St. Thomas Aquinas allows students to earn credits by integrating course curriculum with learning at a work placement. Students in all pathways--apprenticeship, college, community living, university, workplace or exceptional --can participate.

The community around St. Thomas Aquinas is a growing one.  Opportunities in the community are available for placements.  We offer both in school and out of school CO-OP placements for our exceptional students.  In school CO-OP placements are great preparation for the next step.
