Welcome to our one big family
'Education is not preperation for life; education is life itself.'
John Dewey
Welcome to our One Big Family โ St. Catherineโs High School. Established in 1909, St. Catherineโs High School is a family-run, private independent co-educational School located in Pembroke, Malta. It is founded on Catholic principles and run by lay staff under the direction of the Head of School, Ms Sue Midolo, great grand daughter of the founder, Dott. Enrico Cortis.
The School hosts over 700 students and is open to local and foreign students, boys and girls, journeying from the Flutterby Child Care Centre (Child Care and KE1 – 2- 4 year olds) through to the Pre Junior Year (4-5 year olds), then to the Junior School (Junior 1 to 6 – 5 years to 10 year olds) and finally to the Senior School (Senior 1 to 5 โ 11 to 16 year olds) up to the standard required for the Secondary Education Certificate (SEC).
This interface is aimed at providing you with all the necessary information about our School, its ethos and the everyday life of our students and staff. We are confident that it will render a true picture of the good teaching and learning practices that the educational journey at our School promotes and provides. We also hope that this will be a space where we can celebrate the milestones, creative and academic, achieved by our students throughout their educational adventure here at School.
