Serving the Archdiocese of Chicago and located in the heart of Chicago's Chinatown community, St.Therese Chinese Catholic School develops lifelong learners through spiritual, intellectual, mental, physical, and social guidance in a loving, caring environment. We cherish each child as a unique gift of God with different needs and interests. We seek to meet those needs and interests so that each child's sense of self-worth is enhanced and that their uniqueness is preserved.

With the continued support and cooperation of our families, friends, sponsors, and the Chicago Catholic community, St. Therese School is committed to developing students who will be academically competent, morally upright, and who will serve God, family and the community.

Our curriculum exceeds Illinois State Standards, which includes 8th-grade algebra and geometry. Many of our graduates attend top-ranked college preparatory and magnet schools due to our highly competitive test scores. Our comprehensive curriculum includes Catholic values, cultural experiences, technology- and science-enhanced education, computer classes, music appreciation, foreign language instruction in Cantonese, Mandarin, and Spanish, physical education classes, and Chinese dance. In addition, we offer many extracurricular activities, after-school care programs, and parent groups.

 


We are excited and proud to announce that Chicago magazine has named St.Therese Chinese Catholic School as one of the TOP 25 PRIVATE SCHOOLS IN CHICAGOLAND!

In an article written by Dennis Rodkin and Amy Rainey, Chicago has crunched data on thousands of elementary schools to rank the top 115 public schools and alphabetically name the top 25 private schools throughout the six counties of Chicago (including Cook, Lake, Will, DuPage, and Kane counties). Results were determined through an analysis of superior test scores, low student-teacher ratios, outstanding school curricula, availability of extracurricular activities, and upward school progress.

We are the ONLY top 25 private school listed in the growing South Loop region of Chicago, the ONLY top 25 private school offering Mandarin and Cantonese classes, and arguably, the one of the most inexpensive top 25 private schools on the list.
