Thank you for all of your support and dedication to MTA. We are both grateful and overwhelmed by the support of all our constituents! MTA's GIVING DAY resulted with an astonishing total of:
$82,365 from over 200 donors!!
The best part is that all contributions from this day will be matched, doubling our total!
Thank you for believing in our mission and fueling and supporting the success of our amazing students! Receiving a quality education at Mother Teresa Academy provides our students with opportunities they might not otherwise receive. The possibilities are endless for these students.
So again, THANK YOU and God Bless!
Go Saints!!

MTA Christmas/Spirit Week Schedule
Dear Mother Teresa Families,
I hope this message finds you happy, healthy and in the Christmas Spirit. Below I have provided the schedule for this week's Christmas dress down festivities.
***Reminders from the Grinch:
- If your child is NOT participating in the theme for that day, they are expected to be in uniform
- If your child is wearing some variation of leggings, please make sure that they are appropriate and that their bottom is covered
- If your child is wearing jeans, please make sure they do not have any rips or tears
- Dress down clothing should be acceptable and appropriate for a Catholic school student. Modesty and self-respect should be observed and any messages on clothing should be appropriate and positive.
Thank you and Merry Christmas!

Important Reminder Regarding School Events!!
Mother Teresa Academy Families,
I hope this message finds you healthy and surrounded by those you love. I want to take a moment to remind all of you that we’re still navigating a pandemic, COVID-19, and due to these circumstances we are continuing with every effort to keep our community as healthy and safe as possible. As a school, we are committed to follow all directives mandated by The Pennsylvania Department of Education and The Department of Health, specifically concerning our athletic programs.
As much as I would love to cheer our Saints to victory with all of you, currently this is not a possibility for everyone. The purpose of this email is to remind all families and community members that we have a limit for the amount of fans that can attend each event/game. This is not only a school effort but a Diocesan and State-wide effort as well. That being said, THERE IS ONLY ONE PERSON PER PLAYER AT EACH EVENT/GAME - NO EXCEPTIONS. Please understand that if you are asked to leave the space/Gym etc., it is not personal but rather an effort to comply with guidelines that keep us safe and allow us to continue to participate in extra-curricular activities.
In order to attend games/events, parents or guardians need to present a ticket at the door, be on the official Diocesan list (one attendee per player), and follow all COVID-19 procedures (i.e. thermal scanner). Please make sure you are communicating attendee information with our Athletic Department (Dan.ek@prep-villa.com) or our main office. Also know that we will not be able to open the door for other family members/friends who come in during the middle of a game. Thank you for your flexibility and understanding regarding these safety measures.
*That being said, let’s continue to positively cheer on our Saints as they march to victory.
Thank you and have a blessed day.

What's To Love About MTA?
“Last year at the beginning of the school year, my daughter struggled with reading tremendously. With the work from her teachers, she went up three reading levels and grew much more confident. I honestly believe the smaller classroom size and support from the school allowed her to succeed much more than the public school would have. This is why I appreciate the school and the opportunity to be apart of the very first year and continued growth of the school.”
- Lark Hardman, Parent
