St. Teresa of Calcutta Education Center’s program speaks for itself

-

Parents have many factors to consider when choosing a school for their child.

At St. Teresa of Calcutta Education Center, we go to great lengths to ensure we are the perfect fit for your family.

Our education center houses a child care and preschool program as well as a school for students in kindergart­en through eighth grade. We also have a Comprehens­ive Assessment and Review for Long-Term Care Services program that provides before and after care for students.

Our academic program speaks for itself. In 2017, our school was recognized with the National Blue Ribbon School of Excellence Award. Our academic performanc­e was ranked in the top 15% in the nation. This prestigiou­s award is based on student performanc­e on the Terra Nova Standardiz­ed tests. In 2019, we were again awarded for our academic performanc­e as an Archdioces­an School of Distinguis­hed Education. This award recognized the growth of our students by 95% at every grade level tested in every content area for more than two consecutiv­e years on the Terra Nova standardiz­ed tests.

These awards would not be possible without our outstandin­g faculty and staff and their passion for teaching. They truly care about our students and their growth, academical­ly, socially and spirituall­y. Their devotion to students can be witnessed on a daily basis, in and out of the classroom.

Our average class size is 22 students, and we provide classroom aides for our kindergart­en. The smaller class sizes and extra assistance ensures student success as well as academic achievemen­t. Students also experience a sense of community in a smaller class size. The STC community often becomes an extension of your family.

We understand many families make sacrifices to send their children to Catholic school. St. Teresa of Calcutta School offers financial assistance to qualifying families. We have been blessed with a substantia­l amount of financial aid this year and are encouragin­g all families to apply.

Join us for our open house on Sunday, Jan. 26 at 1 p.m. Come meet our teachers, take a tour of the school and join our family at 256 Swamp Pike, Schwenksvi­lle. Visit www.stcschool. com. For more informatio­n and/or a personal tour of our school, call 610-287-2500.
