St. Teresa Program

On September 4, 2016 in St. Peter's Square in Vatican City, His Holiness Pope Francis canonized Mother Teresa during the Sunday Mass celebrated as part of the Jubilee for workers and volunteers of mercy. Tens of thousands of people witnessed the ceremony, including 15 government delegations and 1,500 homeless people from across Italy. In honor, the former Blessed Mother Teresa program will now be the St. Teresa of Calcutta Program. This program provides a bridge to independence by maximizing a student's fullest potential through our comprehensive program of study, reinforcing of executive functioning skills, self-advocacy, and an emphasis on preparing our students for the competitive 21st century.
