The Cook Difference
Hero
Welcome to Catherine Cook School
From preschool (age 3) through 8th grade, our vibrant community values curiosity, connection, and compassion. We invite you to experience our whole-child approach, which focuses on academic excellence, wellbeing and belonging, and developing an innovator's mindset so that students graduate as empowered learners and leaders.
The Admission Process
Benefits of Preschool - 8th Grade
Catherine Cook’s mission, values, educational philosophy, and environment are tailored specifically to the developmental needs of students age 3 through 8th grade. Our students become community leaders at an earlier age and enjoy the spotlight that would traditionally be reserved for the high school experience. Cook’s safe and nurturing environment provides distance from the academic and social pressures of high school and allows students to develop their own identity before selecting an excellent high school that best fits their strengths, goals, and interests.
