As well, the School is an independent Catholic school within the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston and is accredited by the Texas Conference of Catholic Bishops Education Department (TCCB ED) and Cognia. Located in Houston, Texas, St. Catherine's offers both a strong sense of community and exceptional accessibility. Its thoughtfully designed 10.4-acre campus reflects a profound commitment to Montessori philosophy, environmental stewardship, and innovation in educational design. The School has further expanded its vision through the acquisition of three additional undeveloped acres in Houston's historic Japhet Community near Buffalo Bayou.


Guided by its philosophy and a clear mission, strengthened by a remarkable legacy, and energized by a compelling vision for the future, St. Catherine's Montessori offers an extraordinary opportunity for its next Head of School to lead one of the most distinctive Catholic Montessori schools in the country.
