AT ST. CATHERINE’S
Personal attention and small class sizes are hallmarks of our Kindergarten program. We take each girl from her starting point and move her forward with flexible reading and math groups that target her individual needs. Collaborative projects woven into the school day provide countless opportunities for the girls to become creative writers, inquisitive scientists and global thinkers.
