Come and experience what St Catherine’s School has to offer!

St Catherine’s School is an Independent Catholic Co-Ed School based on Johannesburg’s East Rand.

We offer a “home-away-from-home” environment, a place where academic excellence is celebrated and where potential is cherished and nurtured.

A word from the Head

We live in both exciting and challenging times and nowhere is this truer than in the field of education. St Catherine’s has served the local community for more than a century with distinction. The hallmarks of our offering include a deep sense of Christian purpose and a commitment to exceptional quality in the classroom and in the field of co-curricular activity.

The St Catherine's School Difference

Christian-based Education

As a Catholic School we strive to nurture a system based on Gospel values with Christ at the centre of our school.

Co-Educational Model

St Catherine’s is a fully inclusive co-educational school where we encourage boys and girls to flourish.

Affordable Private Education

We offer private school education at fees which are highly competitive. Our aim is to provide value for money to parents who are wanting the best for their children.

Family Environment

We offer an environment that helps foster a sense of community within the school where we all support one another.

Seamless Schooling

We offer seamless schooling where pupils are welcome from Grade 000 and can continue their education through to Grade 12.

Small Classes

With less than 25 in a class, each pupil is afforded the chance to get the personal attention they deserve.

Entrenched in History

Founded in 1908 by the Newcastle Dominican Sisters under the leadership of Mother Rose Niland, St Catherine’s was the first convent school on the East Rand and the first high school in Germiston.

Over a century after first opening our doors, St Catherine’s School is proud to be a thriving educational institution for the children of Germiston, and we look forward to many more years ahead.
