| In light of our stated mission, St Therese Catholic School
affirms that parents are the primary educators of their
children. We, the faculty and staff at the St. Therese Catholic
School in conjunction with the parents and students, are
dedicated to:
Teaching Gospel Values
- Develop in each child a knowledge and love of the
Catholic Church
- Develop in each child the ability to translate faith
into action
- Integrate religious truths and values into the whole
instructional program
- Instill in each child the ability to recognize the
dignity in all human life
Providing a Catholic Education
- Foster an understanding of the liturgy through active
participation and receiving the sacraments
- Teach a specific sequenced curriculum rooted in the
message of Jesus Christ that meets or exceeds Diocesan and
state standards
- Develop the capacity for critical thinking consistent
with high academic standards
Promoting Personal Growth
- Develop in each child a positive self-image
- Develop in each child a sense of responsibility,
courtesy, and respect
- Encourage the discovery and cultivation of each child’s
God-given unique gifts and talents
- Motivate each child to pursue his/her highest potential
as a learner
It is important to note that Catholic schools’ academic
endeavors flow from our mission of teaching the Gospel through
our Catholic Faith and tradition. This is what distinguishes
the Catholic school from other schools. We are first a faith
community, intent on bringing students to Jesus. All other
activities flow from this reality. |
