Your child is away from you several hours per day.  Therefore, you will want to choose a school with a Kindergarten program that embraces the values you instill at home.  A program that enriches your child academically, spiritually, and emotionally. St. Theresa School offers a faith-based approach, a love for learning, and the beginning of high academic achievement. Our bright renovated classrooms provide a warm and inviting setting for learning. Our student-teacher ratio allow our students an opportunity for individualized learning with a curriculum that will challenge them. We offer a half-day or full-day program.
