Mission Statement
The
mission of Saint Theresa of Avila School is to provide quality
education in a context of Catholic faith and Christian community to
students in grades Kindergarten through 8th Grade. Owned and operated by Saint Theresa
of Avila Parish, the school offers academic, social, spiritual,
physical, and extra-curricular opportunities based on the belief
that each child is gifted by God, can learn, and succeed. We welcome
those who choose an education based on the values we exemplify. Our
parish family pledges to support Saint Theresa of Avila School in
its continuing effort to pass on the faith and to witness that
Catholic faith to the greater community of Salem.
