New Frontiers Charter School located at 4018 South Presa in San Antonio's impressive St. Theresa Academy originally built in 1921. Stage I of the renovation process was completed in August 2001 and now houses the Kindergarten through Second grade. This magnificent building shines with terrazzo floors and bright, shiny classrooms all with internet connections and several computers in each room. The remaining grades, consisting of 3rd grade through 8th grade are housed in semi-permanent portable buildings all with internet connections and computers. These classrooms have been repainted and new tile installed in August 2001. Overall, the campus at New Frontiers is quite impressive with thirty regular education classrooms, a music room, special education department, ESL classroom, computer lab, and cafeteria.
