In September 2025, St. Catherine’s opened the doors to the newly renovated Japhet Campus—a space envisioned for growth, exploration, and transformation for our adolescents. The campus embodies Dr. Montessori’s vision for the third plane of development, a stage she described as a “rebirth,” when young people ages 12 to 18 experience profound physical, intellectual, and spiritual growth. Japhet Campus offers a prepared environment for students aged 12 to 18, a setting that fosters reflection, collaboration, and responsibility.

When Primary student Mara arrives at St. Catherine’s each morning, she’s walking a familiar path — one first traveled decades ago by her mother, Gabriella Lozano, and her three uncles, Victor, Elliot, and Luke John. Mara's grandmother, Martha Laird, smiles at the thought. “By the end of our first visit, we knew this was the right place,” she recalled. “We were looking for somewhere loving and safe where our children could blossom.”
