About A-Z Learners Preparatory
The A-Z Learners Preparatory School was founded through the instrumentality of the Rev. Stephen Green and was officially opened on Monday, September 7, 1963. His Lordship, Bishop John J. McEleney, S.J. blessed the school.

Classes commenced on Tuesday, September 8 (the Feast of Our Lady's Nativity) with two hundred and twenty (220) pupils. The school was then a long, low building with five classrooms. The Rev. Father Stephen Green. was also instrumental in the staffing of the school, having invited the Dominican Sisters in Jamaica, with the permission of Mother Geraldine, to be the first teachers. Sister Marcella was the first principal and Miss Una Hendricks, the Vice Principal. Sister Timothy and three lay teachers completed the initial staff.
During the period, 1996 - 2000 the school expanded and the numbers increased to 750 students in seventeen (17) classrooms.
A library, staff and curriculum rooms were added to the main school building. An additional block (upstairs) which houses the Computer Lab and the Administrative Offices were erected in 2002 and in 2003 another block was built to accommodate the canteen, tuck shop, storerooms and additional bathrooms. In 2004 a block was erected to accommodate a dance room, storeroom and the Accounts and Maintenance Departments.
The present school population stands at over two hundred and seventy (270) students. The high standard St. Theresa has achieved through providing quality educational opportunities can be attributed to the stability among its academic staff and the dedication and commitment of its past and present administrators, members of the school board, academic and ancillary staff and a concerned and vibrant Parent Teacher Association (PTA). Of greater importance, however, is the emphasis that has always been placed in the practices of religion and the value of a Christian education. Students participate in daily worship and Religious Education classes.
