The Teresian School provides an education based on the philosophy of St.Pedro Poveda. We highlight our strong conviction that faith and knowledge need to go together in the modern world.  We aim to inspire students not only to acquire knowledge and pass exams, but to use knowledge to build a more loving, compassionate and just life for our families, our society and the world we live.

As a school, we are committed to providing an education that not only meets the highest academic standards but also nurtures the whole person. In today’s complex world we understand that young people need not only knowledge but also skills to succeed and also a sense of humanity. We believe in fostering a love for learning, encouraging intellectual curiosity, and developing skills and values. The values of justice, kindness, patience, respect, empathy and care – all of which will serve our students throughout their lives are basic requirements of our classes every day.

Our school has always managed to have a very personal approach to its staff, its students and its parents, and this has been no small part of its success. Our teachers know our students, they understand the context of the world that they are living and growing up in. Our teachers demonstrate personal attention to each of the students that sit in front of them, not just educational attention but also social and emotional attention, helping our students to embrace opportunities. All of this is done in a warm, positive, friendly family-like atmosphere.

The high academic standards we set have allowed us to develop a program that is designed to challenge. We offer a broad and balanced curriculum that caters to a wide range of interests and abilities. Our dedicated and experienced teachers are passionate about their subjects and committed to helping each student achieve her full potential. We use innovative teaching methods and the latest technology to create engaging and effective learning experiences. Our results in State Examinations rank nationally among some of the best. 32% of the class of 2024 got 600 points or more versus 5% of students nationally. 61% of students got 500 points or more versus 11% of students nationally. We achieved 74 H1 grades in total across all subjects.

Our pastoral care and learning support teams, ensure that every student receives the support and guidance she needs to thrive.

We offer a wide range of extracurricular activities, from sports and music to drama and debating, and much more. These activities provide opportunities for students to explore their interests, develop new skills, and build lasting friendships. Our sports teams compete at a high level, and our music and drama productions are a highlight of the school year. We believe that these experiences are an essential part of a well-rounded holistic education that we provide here.

We believe that education is a partnership between the school and the family. We value the trust that you place in us and are committed to working closely with you to support your daughter's growth and development. We encourage open communication and welcome your involvement in school life. Our staff work together as a team which is vital part of the school’s feel and atmosphere. In world that is changing so fast and where education is getting ever more demanding, the mutual support and sense of team among our staff is essential or the wellbeing of all within our school.
