very pleased that our son is at Cate. Incomparable setting, excellent faculty and support, and I get the impression that it is an appropriate dose of intensity for young men & women who seek to thrive at a high academic level. I believe our son will be well-prepared for success at any college or university; and he is enjoying an exceptional high-school experience.

Incredible location for students to be challenged academically while building strong social and problem solving skills. The faculty are incredibly engaged in the success of each student and available anytime to provide assistance and feedback. The location cannot be beat and the opportunities for the students to grow and develop as a community and Indvidual's is priceless. Academics are tough and expectations are high but it is not a cut throat environment. Lot of opportunities to try new activities and find your passion.

Every student, including my son, seems to be met where they are and further enriched, creating an environment where everyone can thrive. With caring, attentive teachers in smaller-number class sizes, to the culture of inclusivity, there is space for growth and exploration in academics and arts. This close-knit community of inquiry-based learning lets the student craft their learning journey while at Cate.

The demands they place on their students prepare them well for college. Most importantly, the combination of scholarship, athletics, and social activiti...

I am currently a student at Cate School and my experience has been terrible. I transferred in to the school hoping that it would give me a competitive academic environment and a group of great friends. The school tells all students that it has a "community feel" and "close tight-knit family". These...

Cate School is an incredible community of learners. Since the December 13, 2012 poster has taken up the academic issues raised by the May 17, 2011 poster, I will take on the "permissiveness" issue. Cate School artfully balances structure and freedom. There are many rules in place well-tailored to th...
