Our faith is at the center of our teachings at St. Teresa Catholic School. Although we are a Catholic school, students of all faiths are welcome. We focus on Christian values and set high moral standards for our students. Religion class is integrated into the daily schedule for kindergarten through eighth grade, with students attending mass weekly. Students participate in the mass by serving as lectors, altar servers, cantors, and choir members. Additionally, as a school community, we participate in various faith-centered activities through-out the year, such as Blessing of the Animals, participating in a rosary procession in honor of Mary, our Christmas Pageant where the birth of Christ is reacted by the whole school, and the reenactment of the Stations of the Cross.

Being located in the heart of the Space Coast, technology integration is a high priority at St. Teresa Catholic School. Students in grades five through eight learn in a one-to-one environment where each child is issued a Chromebook for school use. Teachers use Google Classroom as a communication hub for lesson assignments and submissions. Furthermore, students in grades five through eight participate in a STREAM (Science, Technology, Religion, Engineering, Art, and Math) class where they learn 21st Century skills such as coding, robotics, and 3D printing. The Boland Family Learning Center is the ultimate technology-rich “classroom.” Students can work in groups by plugging in their Chromebook or iPad into a large flat panel monitor or make class presentations on our 75” ClearTouch touch screen with integrated PC and Wi-Fi. Teachers in our lower grades incorporate educational software activities with iPads in the classroom. These grade levels use SeeSaw as their communication hub for lesson assignments and submissions. Furthermore, all classrooms are equipped with SMART boards for classroom use. These interactive whiteboards provide teachers with tools for presenting creative and engaging lessons.

Community outreach is an integral part of Catholic social teachings, thus an important part of a student’s life at St. Teresa Catholic School. We believe it is the role of every person to do what they can to help their neighbor. Whether it is collecting food for the parish food pantry, Cor Jesu, or supporting our community by making donations to North Brevard Charities, our students learn the meaning of “love thy neighbor.” Additionally, we accept the call to action in times of natural disasters, by sending relief packages to our friends who are victims of natural disasters, like those in the Florida panhandle after Hurricane Michael. We have also participated in efforts to support our sister mission in the Dominican Republic, our United States veterans and the environment through various recycling programs.
