Mary (Park Forest) in the Diocese of Joliet and serving the surrounding communities, is committed to teaching as Jesus did: providing excellence in education and dedicated to creating an environment where students grow spiritually, academically, and physically within the framework of Gospel values and Church tradition
Mother Teresa Catholic Academy works in partnership with parents as the primary educators of their children. We advocate frequent communication with parents and welcome parents into the building as volunteers. We feel this close collaboration with parents is the key to student success.
Parents have access to their child’s grades online on a daily basis. Teachers communicate homework and behavioral concerns to parents through SchoolSpeak. Close monitoring of student work and praise for student accomplishment both in school and at home builds self-esteem and fosters academic success.
