Who We Are

Located in the Maple Leaf neighborhood of Northeast Seattle, St. Catherine School is a family, Christ-centered community, rooted in the Catholic faith and inspired by the Gospel values. With Jesus as our model, we are dedicated to lifelong growth in faith, love and learning. 

​

We are committed to developing responsible, ethical leaders who think critically, act justly, communicate effectively and serve willingly.

​

St. Catherine School opened in 1941, just months before the United States entered World War II. Despite the trauma of the times, St. Catherine School found a firm foothold among Catholic families in Seattle’s north end. Sisters of Providence staffed the school for thirty-five years.

In 2018 we received a full six-year term of accreditation by the Western Catholic Education Association.
