Middle School (Grades 6-8)

Middle School Service Learning

St. Theresa’s Catholic School middle school consists of grades 6 – 8. The core academic courses Religion, Math, Social Studies, Science, Language Arts, and Foreign Language are grade specific.  Elective classes allow students to gain exposure to new subjects and may combine students from different grades. 

Learn
Students are challenged to develop academic and physical skills, pursue knowledge, and critically study and analyze the world in which they live. The academic program is designed to build upon the strong foundation that students acquired in the lower grades and prepare them to excel in future educational opportunities. The faculty strives to instill in students a lifelong love of learning. The middle school program is student-focused, rather than subject-focused.

Serve
As part of our students’ adult formation, each middle school student is asked to perform community service: 15 volunteer hours are required per school year. St. Theresa’s Little Way Award is given to honor students who earn the most service hours outside of school hours. Each grade is assigned a general area of service. 

Believe 
As a parochial school, St. Theresa’s Catholic School is part of the faith community of St. Theresa Church. Religion is formally taught every day, and Catholic values are integrated into all subjects. Students attend and actively participate in weekly Mass. We believe Catholic education should inspire children to become instruments of God’s grace and to work for justice in the world.
