The splendor of the rose and the whiteness of the lily do not rob the little violet of its scent nor the daisy of its simple charm. If every tiny flower wanted to be a rose, spring would lose its loveliness. St. Thérèse of Lisieux A St. Thérèse Academy student is one with exceptional needs and/or learning differences who prefers to learn in an exclusive educational setting. Our students learn to recognize their own gifts and talents to grow spiritually, academically, physically, socially, and emotionally in an environment that supports their individual needs and fosters dignity and respect for all. Our students are not identified by a disability but rather celebrated as a unique child of God and encouraged through personalized instruction and assessment to cultivate their gifts towards success.
