Academics
St. John Primary (SJP)/St. Theresa Middle (STA) provides an atmosphere for spiritual and academic growth, while promoting learning as a life-long process. The students are exposed to a challenging curriculum designed to encourage them to become engaged and active learners.
Students participate in a variety of rigorous and relevant activities throughout the school-day. Relationships are established to instill virtues, knowledge, understanding, and the skills necessary for moral, intellectual, and physical development.
Faculty and staff are committed to the religious and academic education of each student to his/her full potential. Faculty and parents work in partnership to guide each student through instruction that promotes acceptance, tolerance, love, individuality, inquiry, and success. It is most important that students understand that they are beautiful children of God and that God loves them.
