St. Catherine's Military Academy
School Notes Overview:
St. Catherine's Military Academy is a resident and day Catholic School for boys in Kindergarten through Eighth grade. St. Catherine's was established in 1889 by the Dominican Sisters of Mission San Jose. Their continued commitment is to offer young boys a challenging education program while fostering leadership and high moral values. At St Catherine's Military Academy, we build young men of character, self-confidence, discipline, honor and integrity; provide a solid Spiritual foundation; and emphasize academic achievements and study habits to prepare boys for a competitive, college-prep high school. At St. Catherine's, boys find it easier to concentrate in our structured environment; they are less distracted; they are more engaged in the learning process; and they are more likely to develop an appreciation for the arts and music....
