The tuition-based academic program included strict entrance exams and admission requirements under which potential student applicants were carefully scrutinized.

The demanding college preparatory curriculum offered the required and elective courses at each grade level in Religion, English, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, Foreign Language (Latin I, II, III), Business (Typing, Shorthand), and Physical Education.

With both St. Thérèse the Little Flower, and Patroness The Virgin Mary as inspiration, the principles of Christian life in the Roman Catholic tradition were stressed at all times.

The academic program was accompanied by mandatory strict adherence to deeply religious values and devotion to the Catholic faith and Church rituals.

Prior to the beginning of classes each morning, Mass was attended at the Chapel of St. Theresa-the Little Flower, which was adjacent to the school building, and the Sacrament of Confession was offered weekly.
