THE SCHOOL

As well, the School is an independent Catholic school within the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston and is accredited by the Texas Conference of Catholic Bishops Education Department (TCCB ED) and Cognia. Located in Houston, Texas, St. Catherine’s offers both a strong sense of community and exceptional accessibility. Its thoughtfully designed 10.4-acre campus reflects a profound commitment to Montessori philosophy, environmental stewardship, and innovation in educational design. The School has further expanded its vision through the acquisition of three additional undeveloped acres in Houston’s historic Japhet Community near Buffalo Bayou.
