Very qualified teachers k-3.. highly recommended as long as the k-3 teaching staff is in place. The move into Middle School and Jr High is lacking in both structure and disipline. School lacks authority and teacher guidence from all levels of administration. Parents are required to volunteer hours

St Therese is a school of many faiths and nationalities. Each child is encouraged to develop their own individuality. The teachers are energetic and bring their own individuality to an excellent academic program. The extracurricular activites that the children have a chance to do throughout the year

No extracurriculars outside of the athletics program (basically basketball and cheerleading) or church services. If you are Catholic, the students can receive sacrament -- after several out-of-class night sessions. Very inconvenient for working parents. Parents are controlling, and will make you pay for not 'volunteering' to help. In short: St. Therese won't prepare your adolescent child for public high school or university.
