Where are you located?  St. Catherine is located in North Fort Thomas, right across the bridge from Cincinnati, Ohio.

What grades do you have? We are an elementary school with Kindergarten through 8th grade. Out kindergarten program is half-day but after kindercare is available. We currently do not have a pre-school program.

Is it true that you do not have tuition?  St. Catherine is a "Stewardship" parish which means that "active" parishioners, those who go to church and give regularly do not pay tuition. School families are encouraged to give what they can to help offset the cost of educating their children. Out-of-parish students do pay tuition ($3300). All students pay the registration and book fees ($500).

What are the academics like at your school? Our students continually rank near the top when compared to other diocesan and public schools. Our 6th grade test scores are at or above the local public school. This is saying much because they are one of the top public school districts in the state. Our students have also applied their knowledge in many activities including the Governor's Cup competitions winning the district and regional competitions many times over the last five years.

Do you have sports? We offer several sports to our students including basketball, soccer, volleyball, and cheerleading. All of our students are encouraged to participate. There are no tryouts and all players are guaranteed playing time. Our goal is to teach our students to be good sports and that winning is not important.

What is your enrollment and how many students are in each class? Our current enrollment is 192 and our average number of students per class is 21.

How is your technology? We take great pride in the fact that our technology is excellent. Our building is totally networked including a computer lab and "mini-labs" in the classrooms.

Is there a waiting list? No. We do have a cap of 25 per class and any registrations above this must be approved by the Board of Education.

Do I have to be Catholic to attend St. Catherine? No. All students are welcome at St. Catherine. Non-catholic students are included in all parts of the school day and even during our Friday liturgies.
