About Us

Our school offers programming from Nursery through Grade 12. It is a modern facility with 45 classrooms. The average classroom size is 25 students, with the exception of smaller classes in some of the high school levels. We recently adapted our Kindergarten program from a half-day to a full-day program.

Language Instruction

We believe that the retention of the First Nation language is crucial to the restoration and preservation of the culture, heritage and pride of the St. Theresa community and people. The Education Authority therefore requires that all students be provided with regular instruction in Island Lakes Dialect.

Student Services Program

Student Services assist and enhance the academic, social and emotional development of all students attending school. We believe that the Student Services Program must accommodate the needs of the St. Theresa Point Students attending school in the community as well as those required to leave the community for educational purposes.

Land-based and Traditional Learning

Teachers integrate, across-the-curriculum, local and land-based traditional and historical teachings. Students spend an entire week of each school year on the land with their teachers. They also receive training on how to operate boats and snowmobiles.

Extracurricular activities and clubs

Volleyball, floor hockey, dance club, Right to Play. We also offer a mature student program in the evening.
