Our experience with St. Catherine's has been fantastic since my girls were in the Early Learner program. The teachers have been amazing and have been truly supportive and accommodating to each of my girls individual personalities and needs as they've gone through the program, allowing them to really come out of their shell and find confidence and excitement through learning. I have been thoroughly impressed each year and am grateful that my kids will graduate from this school. The teachers are dedicated and engaging with the girls, challenging them and helping them reach their full potential. The campus is gorgeous with state of the art facilities and with a multitude of amenities. St. Catherine's is a truly incredible place for my girls to not only learn, but to thrive and grow into well rounded young women ready to take on the world!
This is my daughter's first year at St. Catherine's School and she is thriving. Her Kindergarten experience has been stellar and we have seen growth in just the very few months when she started in August. The admissions process went very smoothly and the admissions department were extremely helpful in every step. Every day, my daughter comes home with a huge smile on her face and goes through every detail of what she learned and how much she loves her teachers. This is the greatest gift a parent could receive seeing how happy and excited she is about school. We could not have chosen a more perfect place for our daughter to learn, flourish with the amazing guidance of her teachers and make lasting friendships. I highly recommend St. Catherine's School!
Very good education, but very stressful environment. High expectations lead to rough self-esteem and a raised self-standard. I think it's a good school if you're willing to put in the work, however, it requires a lot of drive/dedication to school itself. The girls are friendly, sometimes cliquey but it gets better as maturation continues to grow. The teachers are very well prepared (many have doctorates/focused education surrounding their subject), leading an excellent example for students. Personally, my time with teachers was valued, as they were very understanding of students' workload. With help from teachers, students are able to catch up on things missed or things that need refreshers.
