School Notes

St. Catherine`s Montessori upholds the values of our shared Montessori and Catholic heritages.
As an AMI (American Montessori Internationale) School, we follow the curriculum and traditions established by Dr. Maria Montessori more than 100 years ago.
More than simply a method of education, the Montessori approach fosters the development of the whole child-intellectually, physically, socially, morally and spiritually.

St. Catherine's Montessori is a Catholic Montessori school that educates children ages 14 months through High School. Founded in 1966 by the Dominican Sisters, we provide an unparalleled educational and religious program. We occupy a state-of-the-art building on 10.4 acres with beautiful learning environments both inside and outside. We are classified as a LEED certified building, one of the very few in Texas.
