About

ST. CATHERINE’S MONTESSORI

Founded in 1966 by two Dominican Sisters, Sisters Edna Ann Hebert and Shirley Owens, St. Catherine’s Montessori began with a bold and visionary purpose: to unite authentic Montessori education with the Dominican charism and Catholic values in a way that develops and nurtures the mind, body, and spirit of every child. What started as a single classroom serving 43 Primary students has evolved into a vibrant and deeply mission-driven learning community of nearly 300 students, spanning ages 14 months through 18 years.
