Welcome!

St. Catherine Academy is a private state-approved school of the Diocese of Bridgeport serving children with intellectual disability, learning disability, speech language impaired, multi-handicapped, neurological impairment, and autism. The school was established in 1999 as a fulltime, day school for the purpose of educating students who require a functional academic and life skills curriculum. The school educates students ages 5-21 who are emotionally sound, motivated to learn but unable to thrive in an inclusive setting.


A functional academic curriculum is offered based on the Common Core coupled with instruction in daily living and vocational skills. Related services in physical, speech/language or occupational therapy are provided to children whose IEP indicates a need. St. Catherine Academy provides a stimulating learning community where students develop their potential in all areas of development.
 

The Academy’s program is ungraded and children are accepted by referral from school districts or parent placement. All professional staff holds appropriate Connecticut certificates or licenses. The student to staff ratio is 2:1.
 

Conveniently located in Fairfield, CT, our new facility features classrooms equipped with the latest technology; comprehensive service ability for speech, occupational and physical therapy; gymnasium; vocational center and life skills apartment.

St. Catherine Academy accepts referrals from parents and local public school districts.
