St. Catherine Of Siena School is an academic institution serving the needs of students from Preschool through eighth grade.
Our primary goal is to educate the whole child in mind, body and spirit.
St. Catherine of Siena School is a Catholic educational community of students, faculty, administrators, clergy, and supportive personnel.
Our program strives to build upon the work of the parent as primary educator, the Church community, and larger society that contributes to our students' education.
At St. Catherine of Siena School, we teach that Catholicism is a way of live, where each student has the opportunity to develop a personal, sacramental relationship with God and to experience a sense of lived Christian community.
We foster attitudes of respect, justice, peace, and concern for all.
We strive to develop in each child a knowledge of the fundamentals and sacraments of our Church; essentials of the formation of a Christian life.
