Saint Teresa of Avila School is a micro school, providing a unique educational setting that combines the principles of Catholic education with the benefits of a micro school approach. We have a small student population, allowing for a personalized and intimate learning environment.

​

As a micro school, we have a strong commitment to individualized instruction. With smaller class sizes, teachers can cater to the specific needs and learning styles of each student. This personalized approach fosters a strong teacher-student relationship, enabling educators to provide targeted support and guidance. Students receive the attention and encouragement necessary to thrive academically, emotionally, and spiritually.

​

Catholic micro schools often adopt a holistic approach to education, recognizing the importance of nurturing the whole person. In addition to rigorous academics, we also prioritize character formation, moral development, and community engagement. Students are encouraged to embody virtues such as compassion, integrity, and social responsibility. The school community becomes a close-knit family, fostering a sense of belonging, collaboration, and service to others.

​

​Furthermore, Catholic micro schools leverage innovative teaching methods and technology to enhance the learning experience. We incorporate project-based learning, experiential activities, and interdisciplinary approaches to foster critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving skills. By embracing technology, we offer blended learning opportunities, virtual resources, and personalized digital tools to support student growth.
