St. Catherine’s School, Richmond | Fees, Rankings, Address, Admission, Vacancies, Reviews & More

Our daughter came to St. Catherine’s in the 8th grade, and her experience has been nothing short of fantastic. The learning environment is so welcoming and inclusive. The consistent message from faculty is “thank you for trusting us with your child’s education- we are so glad that you are here.” This positive energy sets the tone for our entire experience. Our daughter has always been a hardworking student. But the incredible depth of experiences and resources offered, combined with the empowering atmosphere of the school, are clearly promoting leadership qualities. It is evident to us that she is thriving in the all-girls setting, and she is much more willing to be assertive, take risks, and be herself. I’m sure there are many great academic programs to choose from in our area, but seeing our daughter develop into a confident leader… we could not ask for more. The amazing list of extracurricular choices- many sports teams to choose from every season, dance, theater, music- it really can’t be beat. We are also amazed at the group of girls in her grade- friendly, kind, out-going kids. We’re so grateful that we chose St. Catherine’s (and they chose us!).

I have two daughters at St. Catherine’s, one in 1st grade and one in 3rd grade. I can honestly say they LOVE going to school. They get up literally every morning excited about school and they both love their teachers. That school has girls figured out, whether they are doing some spectacular dance performance or a science experiment with gummy worms and glow bracelets (which my daughter has done both). The school cultivates a safe learning environment without distractions. The chapel is centering and teaches them about giving back, kindness, respect and other attributes we want our children to obtain. When we moved here five years ago, as a mother, one of my biggest anxieties was finding the right school for my children. I can without a moment’s hesitation say that St. Catherine’s and St. Christopher’s were the best decisions we made when we moved here. We have had such a positive experience and look forward to see the future!

Enrolling our daughter at St. Catherine’s is one of the best decisions we have made for her. She is incredibly happy and wants to go to school every day. The teachers and staff at this school are amazing, supportive and nurturing. I would not want her to be anywhere else, and I am confident she is getting the best education at St. Catherine’s. The fact that this is an all-girls’ environment has been such a positive, and I have watched her leadership skills and self-esteem flourish at this school. We have been here two years and have no complaints. I highly recommend this school to any parent who wants their daughter to receive a top-notch education in a nurturing environment filled with teachers and staff who truly care about your child’s well-being and all facets of her development — academically, spiritually, socially, physically and emotionally.
