Excellent and affordable Catholic education. Great music and performing arts programs including violin and ukulele. Fun and affordable after school enrichment programs. My kids participated in self defense, hula and lego robotics programs. Super dedicated teachers. Caring support staff. More like an extension of family.
Endorse St. Catherine School. Endorsements should be a few sentences in length. Please include any comments on:
- Quality of academic programs, teachers, and facilities
- Availability of music, art, sports and other extracurricular activities
- Academic or athletic awards
