Catena School is a model of progress. It is a place where relationships matter, activity abounds, and learning reaches beyond classroom walls and into the outside world. At Catena, every day offers highly engaging opportunities for students to “pass on” compassion and to self-monitor their behavior. Catena is committed to a constant reevaluation of student needs, and staff work toward improving the depth and breadth of their instructional approaches. A common language permeates every space at Catena. The modeling of respectful, responsible, and safe behavior sends clear and consistent messages. Catena School understands that a strong curriculum, strong programs, and strong leaders shape strong students, and that these early educational years form the foundation upon which students will build their lives. According to its students, service at Catena is “just what we do here.”

Outreach:  During their 2011-12 award year, Catena responded to inquiries from educators, presented at a state conference, and were interviewed by their mayor.
