District School Board
Catholic Elementary School
Striving to maintain the integrity and well-being of our students and their school community, according to the values of the Gospel.
St. Theresa was first opened in 1997 as a Junior Kindergarten to grade two school in Corbeil. The school grew by one grade until it included grade six in 2001. The students actively participate in academic and extracurricular programs such as the, the choir, volleyball, peer helpers, cross country running teams, skating and gymnastics lessons by qualified instructors at a local club. The students participate in liturgical celebrations at school. Parents have an opportunity to become engaged in a variety of activities: the annual Thanksgiving Dinner, library helpers, Book Fairs, classroom helpers, fund raising, educational outings and the Catholic School Advisory Council. Our school community moved to a newly built facility in September 2006.
Balanced School Day
In September 2007, students at St. Theresa School were introduced to a new approach to school organization called the Balanced School Day. Essentially, this approach divides the school day into three large instructional periods separated by two nutrition/play periods.
Registrations are now being accepted for full-day, every day JK and SK for September 2012. Call us for more information.

Our school community has many opportunities to express their Catholic Faith. Our students are involved in the planning of monthly liturgical services by preparing hymns and special intentions. The junior grade students support the younger ones by volunteering to be peer helpers. They provide helping hands in the kindergarten class during lunchtime and during special events. Regular food drives serve to support some of the community needs and an annual Lenten Penny Drive for the Food Bank encourages community involvement. This year the students are collecting used and new toys for area children.
