The St. Catherine's Journey - Part 2: Primary
Featured
In the Primary community, the absorbent minds of our three- to six-year-olds begin to consciously soak up information about their environment, and the children start to make sense of and give meaning to their learning. Our Primary children work in uniquely-tailored environments with specially-designed concrete materials they can touch and manipulate at their own rhythm.

The children develop concentration and coordination through practical life lessons; acquire writing and reading; learn to associate quantities with numerals; are introduced to other cultures through geography lessons; become familiar with the items found in Mass and take lessons in the Atrium; perfect their use of art tools; listen and move to a wide range of music; learn to match pitch and sequence the order of the scale; and care for their community garden and classroom pets and plants.

The St. Catherine's Journey - Part 3: Lower Elementary
Featured
At the Lower Elementary level the reasoning minds of the six- to eight-year-old develop, and the children become more social and assertive. They spend a lot of time exploring the “why” of things, and enjoy deepening and broadening their understanding of concepts through group work, listening to stories, and using their imaginations to better grasp the complexity of the universe.

The curriculum introduces students to the five “Great Stories”, which include the origin of the universe, the coming of life on earth, the coming of human beings, the story of oral and written communication, and the story of numbers – all of which are a springboard from which the children begin to explore and appreciate the excitement of learning. Additionally, the children move outside the classroom by “going out” into the larger environment to learn more about topics that interest them.

The St. Catherine's Journey - Part 5: Adolescent Community
Featured
In the Adolescent Community the student experience is focused on study, work and community living! In the AC, the 7th- through 9th-graders learn to balance freedom and responsibility and develop their social and economic independence. Their wide-ranging curriculum gives every student a full and well-rounded education to help them fully understand the responsibility they have to mankind and our planet Earth. Students have the freedom to develop their studies according to their interests, therefore, in almost every area of the curriculum students are offered some choice. The adolescents also begin work on the farm at Japhet Creek where they explore environmental, urban planning and social justice issues by tending their crops and supporting their micro-economy.
