St. Theresa students participate in the Private Schools Interscholastic Association’s academic competition. Rooted in virtue and academic excellence, students exercise their God-given gifts and talents through hard work and healthy competition. Our children grow in leadership by engaging with the community throughout the 59 academic contests which cover math, science, language arts, speech, social studies, and fine arts.

School-wide competitions, in these subject areas, are held for 1^st through 8^th grade students. Leading students advance to an Austin-area district competition in March. Top-placing students then advance to the state competition in April at Texas Christian University (TCU) in Fort Worth.
