I am a proud parent of twins at St Catherines School (second grade).My children are respected and supported in their education. They are academically challenged and they are raised in a Christ-centered environment.I cannot say enough about the quality of the Principal (Sr Antonella) and the staff.Please be under no illusions: this school sets out to challenge your child academically and support them being the best they can be. Parents are expected to support their children (homework etc) and by volunteering at the school.None of this is onerous for people who want the best education for their children and I am confident that St Catherines provides that.

As the 8th grade teacher, I wish to express how privileged I feel to be able to work in such an amazing school for over 16 years. I encourage anyone to come and experience St. Catherines during a number of opportunities during the school year, such as: an Open House in January, school tours offered during October and November, sport events and rallies, the annual Christmas Program, Drama productions, the Family Sunday and First Friday Masses, the Fall Festival, or assist us in our participation of Sacraments, community service projects and collections, or volunteers service hours. We offer so much at St. Cats...all you have to do is come by the office and inquire. We are more than happy to show you around.

Our son started St. Catherines school in Burlingame in the 6th grade. At first, he was a bit overwhelmed with the junior high homework load, but he eventually adapted. Now that he is in high school, we are seeing the benefits of St. Catherines emphasis on time management and organization skills. Also, he really enjoyed his time there and always has great things to say about his teachers.

Terrible experience.
