Voices of St. Catherine’s
A unique aspect of a St. Catherine’s education is our deep respect for the natural stages of a child's growth. Dr. Montessori identified a series of distinct six-year stages from birth to 24 years, which she called the four planes of development. By understanding these stages, we can better support each child as they grow from infancy to adulthood.
Since the founding of St. Catherine’s Montessori, Dominican charism has been a guiding light for the school’s work with students and families. The Dominican pillars of prayer, study, community, and preaching are present in harmonious collaboration with our Montessori pedagogy at every level. Though these two aspects of our school are often mentioned alongside each other, the connection goes beyond a parallel coexistence.
