Saint Teresa School welcomes students in grades Pre-k3 through grade eight into our warm, Catholic, family-friendly community where parents and teachers are partnered in the education of their children. At Saint Teresa’s your child will be known; your child will be loved, and your child will be nurtured.
Our diverse school community offers a low student-teacher ratio (13:1), allowing us to know your child’s learning strengths and needs. With this knowledge we offer differentiated instruction which allows for each child to reach his or her potential in a caring and supportive environment that encourages growth intellectually, spiritually, emotionally, and socially.
Our Commitment to High Academic Standards
At St. Teresa School, we are dedicated to providing an exceptional, well-rounded education that prepares our students for success both in school and in life. Our academic programs are standards-based, ensuring that all students receive a rigorous, comprehensive education that aligns with national and state expectations, Catholic values, and 21st-century skills.
Standards We Follow
Our curriculum is designed to meet and exceed the expectations set by multiple authoritative bodies, ensuring that our students receive the highest quality education possible:
Common Core Standards
We follow the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) to provide a strong foundation in English Language Arts and Mathematics. These standards promote critical thinking, problem-solving, and analytical skills that students need to succeed in the classroom and beyond.
State and National Content Standards
In addition to Common Core, we adhere to state and national content standards across all subjects, including Science, Social Studies, and the Arts. This ensures that our students are receiving up-to-date, comprehensive instruction in line with educational best practices.
Cardinal Newman Society Standards
As a Catholic school, we are proud to integrate the Cardinal Newman Society’s standards for faithful Catholic education into our curriculum. These standards emphasize academic excellence within the framework of Catholic teachings, fostering a deep understanding of faith, ethics, and moral responsibility. We are committed to forming students who not only excel academically but also grow spiritually and morally.
21st Century Skills
In today’s rapidly changing world, students need more than academic knowledge—they need 21st-century skills such as creativity, collaboration, communication, and digital literacy. Our curriculum encourages students to develop these essential skills through hands-on learning, project-based activities, and the integration of technology into the classroom. This approach ensures that our students are prepared for the challenges of the future while remaining rooted in the values of our Catholic faith.
Holistic Education
At St. Teresa School, we believe in educating the whole child. Our academic standards are balanced with a focus on spiritual growth, character development, and community involvement. We strive to create lifelong learners who are not only academically accomplished but also compassionate, ethical, and driven by their Catholic faith.
By adhering to these diverse and complementary standards, we ensure that our students receive a well-rounded education that fosters both intellectual and personal growth. Our graduates are equipped with the knowledge, skills, and moral compass they need to thrive in high school, college, and beyond
