St. Theresa School is a Catholic learning community, united by our love and concern for all children. We are dedicated to providing a challenging and spiritual environment, based upon the timeless Gospel values and traditions or our faith. Our shared vision is to inspire both a love of learning and service to others, with Jesus as our teacher. Based upon our Catholic faith, we, at St. Theresa School, believe in educating the whole child, academically, socially, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. We recognize the parents as the first and primary educators of Jesus Christ. We celebrate the fact that each child is unique and thus requires individual attention. Through the adaptation of teaching methods and materials, we help each child reach their personal best. We guide our students to come to know, love, and serve God through the Gospel values of Jesus and the teachings of the Catholic Church, by loving one another, and through acts of Christian service.
