The boys at this Seminary are of secondary school age about 11 to 17 and they run normal academic courses similar to that of any secondary school and more, after which they do WASC/GCE EXAMINATIONS.

Obviously boys at this age cannot have their minds fully made up about their future, but it is presumed that boys who come to the seminary at least have a desire to serve God and their fellow man as future priests.
During the six years at the seminary they are given guidance and help to enable them to decide whether or not God is calling them to be priests. No pressure is put on them.
They are free to decide for themselves but parents and guardians should realise that boys should not be sent here just for education. It is expected that parents and guardians who send their children to the Minor Seminary will also allow them to go to the Major Seminary to complete their studies for the Priesthood if the children wish to do so.

OUR HISTORY
We believe people would like to know the history of this Seminary.
St Theresa's Minor Seminary is situated on the historical hill of Oke Are, the place where the Catholic faith was first brought to Ibadan in 1895. Ibadan's first Catholic Church (built in 1900). The church still stands in the Seminary campus till date, though it is no longer in use as a church but a mark of the historical entrance of chritianity to the ancient city (Ibadan).
Since then Oke-Are has been a centre of learning and prayer and it has had a major influence on the church and on many aspects of life in Nigeria.
