St. Theresa School

What a positive environment St. Theresa offers to children from pre-school through 8th grade. The school provides a great Academic environment for children to excel as they grow.

I can not say enough positive things about St. Theresa School. Initially, I had my 2 older kids at another smaller catholic school in the area for preschool. Once I had twins, it was time to decide if that was the right fit long term. We decided to switch to St. Theresa to give my twins separate classrooms in each grade and more opportunities for friends among other things. We have never looked back, and we are so happy with our decision. The community feeling is amazing. The extra-curricular activities and sports are great. The teachers have been wonderful. Overall, I am so happy to have all 4 of my kids at St. Theresa.

St. Theresa School provides a wonderful education for its Preschool through 8th grade students. The challenging academics, Catholic faith-based environment, fantastic teachers, and involved families are all key ingredients for a successful school system with students who thrive. Our daughter has been very involved in sports, after-school activities, girl scouts, student council - offering her growth beyond curriculum. As a parent, I've had so many opportunities to volunteer within the school too! I can't imagine a better school for my daughter to attend. We love St. Theresa School and HIGHLY recommend it!

St. Theresa School has an outstanding culture that starts at the top. It begins with the unparalleled leadership of the principal and filters down through all the staff and students. I love that STS offers a robust, high-quality education with an emphasis on creating "Christians Scholars". The teachers truly care and each of my children has experienced tremendous growth during their time at STS. It offers its students a variety of enrichment activities including athletics, intramural sports, scouting, drama, chorus and numerous clubs for every interest. As other reviewers have noted, the families at STS are very involved and care deeply about their community. I'm thankful every day that I made the decision to send my children to this incredible school.

St. Theresa offers a very positive environment with staff who are committed to providing a quality Catholic education and molding future leaders.

Our children are recent graduates of St. Theresa School - The school has made incredible strides in the past 10 years, which is evident in the growing enrollment. The challenging curriculum and beautifully renovated school campus provide an environment to learn. Our children were well prepared for high school and are kind, respectful and compassionate teenagers.

I am the parent of 3 children in Palatine. I have had experience with both the public schools and St. Theresa in Palatine. I can unequivocally say that St. Theresa surpasses the public grade schools in Palatine in the education the children receive and in the moral character that is instilled in them. This is from personal experience over the last 3 years at the elementary and secondary levels. My eldest was very well prepared upon entering high school. The parents are very involved. Any issues with bullying (which are few and far between) are dealt with swiftly and fairly. The teachers and administration are committed to all the children from preschool through 8th grade. The school is in the process of updating the curriculum and have invested in new textbooks in mathematics and religion. The new principal, Dr. Milton Kobus, is dedicated to making St. Theresa a school to follow and admire. He is in the process of implementing a STEM curriculum. I can honestly say I trust St. Theresa with my children and their education, and would highly recommend it.

St. Theresa has been a great school for my children. Excellent focus on academics, lots of extra-curricular activities, and Catholic values taught. There is a strong sense of community at the school with lots of parent involvement and caring families. My children have made good friends and are getting a quality education. We are very happy.

Our kids have been at St. Theresa School for almost 12 years now (pre-school through 8th grade) and it has been an excellent experience for all of us. Our oldest was very well prepared for the college preparatory high school environment. The teachers have been just great. In addition, the moral values infused in every aspect of the day, the sense of community and the involved parents make St. Theresa School a special place. We were very happy to make this investment in our kids.
