St. Theresa School

My husband and I looked at many schools in the Miami/Coral Gables area before deciding on St. Theresa, and we are very happy to be sending our kids here. Our children are thriving academically and spiritually and love going to school. The academic curriculum is rigorous, discipline is strict, and the teachers are extremely warm and caring. There are plenty of after school activities and parents have lots of opportunities to get involved in the school.

St.Theresa is a wonderful school run by the Carmelite Sisters.The school makes learning students' faith a main priority. The academics are high and the discipline is much put in all together. This school is like a second home for most kids. By the time they graduate, the students have grown spiritually, mentally, and physically.

This is a great school! St. Theresa focuses on the entire child. Their academic, religious, social and emotional development. Both my children went there and have done very well in highschool. I went there and was so pleased to see the continued family environment that was present 30 years ago. The Carmelite sisters run a very Catholic school and I wouldn't have my kids go anyplace else.

This school has below average academics especialy in the higher grades. The math is very weak and students must be tutored. The PTA is a joke since the only cater to the administration and have no concerns with parent issues.

On the outside, St. Theresa may look like it is filled with many cliques, but after going to this school, and becoming a part of this school, you come to realize it is a family. Yes members of this family fight but that's just normal. Having graduated from this school only a year ago, I can tell you that remarks about poor quality academics are not true. Students are taught very well, and the teachers at this school are very dedicated. They even offer to spend extra time with students if they aren't understanding a concept . Teachers in this school want their students to do well, and are willing to take extra time out of their busy schedules to help students. Also, STS is a great environment due to the fact that it stresses the importance of faith.STS has greatly impacted my life, because I took everything out of it.

Academically poor. Most teachers do not teach, children have to be tutored after school. 30- 35 children in a class. Parents have cliques and children are generally not friendly. Administration is inept, they prefer to look the other way and not address concerns. Truly not an academic environment that would foster intellectual minds.

St. Theresa has a strong Catholic philosophy and very good, rigorous academics. It also has some ridiculous parents who are cackling hens with not the slightest interest in saying hello or making you feel welcome. Kudos to Father Dennison - a true leader and role model for all.
