... Read more 8 years now and have countless examples of the teachers, children or principal doing something special. They even have a talent show in the spring where any willing kids from K thru 8th grade can get up on the stage to sing, dance, juggle, play an instrument or show off any talent. Each performer is treated like a star. What a great opprotunity for the kids to shine. We are very pleased with how our children have developed at SCL and I know that they will be prepared for whatever highschool they attend. Read less

This school is awesome! It has the best of both worlds - a superior education and a small and warm family like environment. I have been a parent here for 4 years now, and they keep continuing to make strides each year. They aren't satisfied with the 'status-quo' as many schools can be.

So far we just have 2 preschoolers at SCL. We could not be more pleased with the school. Since it is a smaller school, they are able to get *every* child involved in some way so that they feel like they have a special talent. The warmth of the teachers is overwhelming. They could definitely be making

St. Catherine is a great school! Where else in the north shore could you find the diversity that exists at scl?
