We are so thankful that we found St. Teresa's School! We moved to Albany two years ago, and knew we wanted our children to be enrolled in a Christian school. St. Teresa's had been recommended to us by two families, so we decided to make a visit. From the first moment we stepped through the doors,

During the past two years, all of our children's teachers have consistently gone above and beyond to make sure every student is learning to his/her fullest potential, and they feel valued and loved. An active and caring Principal, office staff, and PTO help make St. Teresa's the best school our children have ever attended. Our children have excelled academically, and they have grown spiritually.

Walking through the doors of St. Teresa's was the best decision we had ever made as a family! We were welcomed with open arms and made immediate lifelong friends. St. Teresa's is a wonderful school with many opportunities for all. My three daughters excelled in their academics at St. Teresa's and

I was welcomed as a parent to be as involved as I wanted to be, so I could grow and learn right along with my children! It is such a spriritual, loving and caring school and we miss it so much! You will not find a better more educated group of teachers and staff in Albany. Go Crusaders!!!! Read less

My daughter attended St. Teresa's from Pre-K through 2nd grade before we moved out of state. I would not trade the years she had at St. Teresa's for anything! Her educational foundation was excellent! She had the best start in school with her Pre-K teacher and assistant-Ms. Cox and Mrs. Pitts. I could

Although I am sure that overall, there may have been problems in the school as mentioned by another reviewer, I have found that the same can be said of ANY school, whether public or private. Now that we are in a different school system (still a private, Catholic school), we can easily look back and see how good we truly had it at St. Teresa's! Read less

I just recently graduated from St. Teresa's and I will never forget some of the many wonderful memories that I have accumulated over the years.

Oh my goodness, I love St. T's as the children call it. They are so loved there. The teachers are first rate. My child went there from pre k until he graduated in the 8th. grade. He had to move on to another school to finish and I found myself hanging around mentoring children. It is a job I love.

I am blessed to be a part of the school. I can assure you if you are thinking of this school. It would be wise to do so. You will not be sorry. God Bless You and I hope you are helped with your decision to enroll. A Volunteer.... Read less

We have been at STS for 8 years. The families who send their kids here are a great - totally involved in the school and their kids education. The teachers, generally, are very good and committed to the kids. However, enrollment has decreased every year, from two of each grade to one. The main issue

Read more for families leaving (ours included) is the administration and the lack of responsiveness to parent's concerns like bullying, bathrooms, campus security, facility maintenance, discipline policies, size of some classes (26 in Kindergarten! Took 9 weeks to split), to name just a few of the issues, not to mention tuition increases every year since we have been there. The main focus of the administration is marketing and trying to recruit new students rather than meeting the needs of their current students -- many of whom are leaving, my family included. Read less

My children attend St. Teresa's school and this is a great institution. There is diversity with regard to ethnicity, race, and socio-economic status. I want my children exposed to this as well as prayer in school. The teachers at St. Teresa's School are caring, firm, and well-informed!

As a life-long parishioner and a former student of St. Teresa's, I am elated to be able to send my own children there; my husband is non-Catholic and agrees that STS is the best school for them. The administration, faculty, and staff go above and beyond the call of duty to ensure that the school runs

There are many extracurricular activities available for the students (soccer and basketball teams, cheerleading, beta club, academic clubs, scouts, etc.); however, the crux of the school is promoting academic excellence and encouraging children to grow in faith. As STS only goes through the 8th grade, students go on to the public and private high schools in our area and tend to stand out because of their moral integrity, their respect for the school environment, and their ability to perform well in any academic situation.
