All the teachers I’ve had so far are super nice and fun! But I love PE the most because we learn all kinds of fun new games I’ve never played before. I love going to STEP. There’s so many fun things to do! When you’re in Kinder Prep, there is a really cool special area for you to play.

When we started a school search, we looked at 3 private schools, 2 parochial schools and did research on the Oakland school system. St. T's open house was HANDS DOWN the best – it was organized, informative, friendly, the current students were so well-spoken and well rounded. We ended up starting Kindergarten Prep this fall and have been so impressed. The teacher is fantastic. We’re getting to know the community more and more and everyone we meet is so genuinely friendly and easy to get to know. We love the Faith Families and the chance for our little one to get to be friends with older students. We could not be happier with our choice and will certainly be sending our younger child as well. – Michelle P. 

Our son transferred to St. Theresa’s from an Oakland public school in 4th grade and it was the best decision we made. An area that I felt was missing that my son found at St. Theresa’s is consciousness and awareness of how he impacts others.   Not only does St. T’s provide a supportive learning environment, the teachers and administrators teach and show empathy and kindness which is so needed in this world today. This is a value that is important to me ,and I see in my son how St. T’s is a great influence on who he will be as an adult. – Jesset S.

We toured many schools before deciding where to send our twin boys for kindergarten, and St. Theresa’s was clearly the best for our needs. As well as the professional admissions lead, we chatted with many teachers in the hallways, all who seemed to genuinely love their work, and the kids. The kindergarten teacher is exceptional.  I am amazed at how she is able to hold the attention of her class while teaching math, reading, writing, social studies, etc.  Every day I am glad we are attending St. Theresa – John O. 

A wonderful foundation for my Kindergartener.  My high expectations have been completely surpassed.   My kinder wakes up excited every day to attend school. Every class, every assignment and every interaction are meaningful and fun.  My child’s increasing aptitude for language art, math, religion, music, art, Spanish and more is all because St. T's is providing an outstanding curriculum regardless of the limitations.  And the cherry on top…consistent and excellent communication from the entire staff.  We feel so blessed to have found this exceptional school. – Michelle B. 

We cannot say enough positive things about St. Theresa School and community. Our daughter transferred to St. Theresa’s in 3rd grade from a local public school. The staff, teachers, children, parents and community were all very welcoming and inclusive from day one. Our daughter has thrived at St. Theresa both academically and socially. The academic program is “old-school” in that there is a fair amount of homework, and the children are expected to move along rather rapidly. While this can be challenging, with the support of her teachers, our daughter has grown by leaps and bounds, and she has become more confident in her abilities. – Emily K.  

The teachers and staff are extremely dedicated and caring. St. Theresa Extended Care Program (STEP) is a huge benefit and affordable STEP offers before and after care with interesting activities and homework help. – Tracey S.
