Why Choose St. Theresa?2025/26 applications open november 1st
Is this a place where my child will thrive?
Absolutely. At St. Theresa Catholic School, every child is encouraged to discover their unique gifts and grow in confidence, curiosity, and compassion. Our small class sizes and dedicated teachers ensure each student receives the individual attention they need to flourish academically, socially, and spiritually. As a National Blue Ribbon School, we hold high expectations balanced with a joyful, faith-filled environment that inspires students to do their best and love learning.
Will my child be known, loved, and formed in faith?
Yes — that is at the heart of everything we do. Students are known by name, loved for who they are, and guided daily in living out their faith through kindness, service, and integrity. Our community embraces the “Little Way” of St. Thérèse — doing small things with great love — helping children understand that even their smallest actions can reflect God’s light in the world. From prayer and Mass to service projects and daily interactions, faith formation is woven into every aspect of school life.
Can I see my family here?
We hope you can — and we think you will. Families at St. Theresa often say our campus feels like an extension of home. Parents are deeply involved, friendships form easily, and the sense of community is both welcoming and lasting. Whether you’re cheering at a Tiger game, volunteering at a classroom event, or gathering for Mass, you’ll find a shared commitment to faith, excellence, and joy that makes St. Theresa more than just a school — it’s a family.
