Welcoming
one and all

Choosing the right school is one of the most important decisions you will make as a parent. We understand this should be a careful, considered process and are here to help you through each stage of the journey.

St Catherine’s is more than its broad curriculum, rigorous academic program and countless cocurricular activities – we are a community.

Our staff, students, parents and alumni work together to help every girl find their own great, equipped to make her unique contribution to the world. We can’t wait for you to be a part of it.
