MISSION STATEMENT
St. Theresa School is dedicated to guiding learners as they follow the footsteps of Jesus. Faith, ‘Ohana (family), and Academic Excellence are the pillars upon which we build tomorrow’s leaders.
PHILOSOPHY
We believe that an excellent academic and moral education is a gateway to fulfilling a future for our students. We provide an atmosphere for growth as Catholic Christians in every aspect of our school.
The teachings of Jesus provide a direction for our school. Scripture tells us to love God with our whole heart, soul and all our strength and to love our neighbor as ourselves. Thus, our mission as educators calls us to develop our students hearts through nurturing personal development; their soul through instruction and modeling of faith and morals; and their strength of mind through a standards based academic program.
We lead them to love their neighbor through Catholic Social Teaching and engaging them in acts of community service. These experiences will help our students to develop a deeper relationship with Jesus our Teacher.
St. Theresa School believes that a partnership is necessary in fulfilling the responsibility of forming a child. We work with parents, parish and community to lead each child to his/her greatest potential.
SCHOOL GOALS
In the light of the philosophy of St. Theresa School as a learning community we are committed to the following:
​
1. To instill in all students an appreciation of their human dignity as children of God.
