School Notes Overview:


Santa Catalina is an independent Catholic school, dedicated to the education of young women by giving careful consideration to the individual abilities and potential of each student. Our goal is to balance intellectual growth with spiritual awareness, creativity with order, and individuality with compassion. We work to deepen each girl's sense of responsibility to herself, to others, to school, and to God. We encourage the spiritual growth of students of all faiths through worship, religious study, and community service.
