School Notes
Santa Teresita School, a Catholic elementary school of the
Archdiocese of Los Angeles, was established by Father Antonio
Bouquet in 1950 and administered by the Dominican Sisters of
Mission San Jose. We are proud to serve the Los Angeles community
of Boyle Heights.
Belief in God and the teachings of Jesus Christ are the
cornerstones of the Santa Teresita School community. We believe
that all of God’s children deserve a quality education in a safe
and nurturing environment. We work together with parents for the
Christian and academic education of their children. As a community
of dedicated administrators, teachers, parents and students, Santa
Teresita School strives to develop faith-filled, responsible
citizens for our global community by providing a quality education
which emphasizes academic progress, self-discipline and moral
training.
Our goal is to provide children with the love, care, respect and
structure they need now to experience academic, social and
spiritual growth for a better life in the future. We invite you to
visit our school to experience a community in which faith and
education meet, producing children who are enthusiastic,
well-mannered and spirit filled learners.
Santa Teresita School is accredited by the Western Catholic
Educational Association (WCEA) and co-accredited by the Western
