Our Brother School

St. Christopher's School

Unique to the Saints, the Coordinate Program combines the benefits of single-sex education with elements of a coed experience. At St. Catherine's, we are fully committed to the development of strong, smart and confident young women, and the coordinate program is one of the many ways we ensure our girls are prepared for college and beyond.

Setting the Foundation (Lower School)

Our single-gender teaching and learning in the Lower School is the ideal environment for every child's foundational years. We embrace the opportunity to bring boys and girls together for specific academic projects and social interactions as they get to know each other. The littlest Saints meet for a friendship tea in Kindergarten, while our upper-elementary boys and girls become pen pals, writing to each other throughout the year. The boys and girls visit each other's campus for events like Math Day, a Thanksgiving feast and kickball games.
The Path to Self-Discovery (Middle School)

As your sons and daughters approach adolescence, our single-gender classrooms allow them to grow leaps and bounds in intellect and confidence. With guidance from expert faculty, they will discover their passions and find their voices. We gradually increase age-appropriate joint interactions in the Middle School that focus on the arts and service learning.
An Empowering Coordination (Grades 9-12)

The Coordinate Program culminates in Grades 9-12 as your sons and daughters select coed courses at either campus to fully customize their academic experiences. It's as if they are already in a college setting, managing their schedules and navigating classes on both campuses. Students also enjoy coed experiences in the performing arts, extracurricular clubs, community service activities and travel opportunities.

Upper School Student

The skills I gained from the Coordinate Program go way beyond a quick bus ride between campuses. Thanks to St. Catherine's I feel confident sharing my ideas in coed academic settings, advocating for myself, and navigating social situations.
