St. Catharine School has been a wonderful environment for our daughter. We love the small class size and attention from the teachers with a faith based curriculum.

Sent three children through this school. I could not be happier with their education. Older two were issued Mac Book Pro's. Current student has been issued a Chrome Book. School has Technology education and a quality STEM program (Project Lead the Way). Highly recommended.
