Leah Ridge

I’m a NC native that ended up living in NYC for 16 years and then in Salt Lake City for 3 years and now RVA! I have 5 kids total (2 girls of my own and 3 stekids). We have a busy and exciting household!

Art, swimming, tennis, ice skating, dance and theater

Hiking, biking, and walks that end at Gelati Celesti! We also love movies, theater, museums, traveling, and playing board games.

We found that the admissions team and everyone we encountered at St. Catherine’s School really took the time and extra effort to get to know our daughter. They understood exactly where she was and what she needed to be a successful student. Also, we felt genuinely welcomed into the school community, even in the admissions process. This made us confident in choosing St. Catherine’s for our daughter’s education. Since joining the school, my daughter is so excited to go to school every day. When she comes home she describes all the amazing things that she has learned with so much purpose and eloquence. In her eyes, St. Catherine’s is a magical place full of learning exciting things with the best teachers! And I have to agree, I am constantly wowed by the entire experience… excellent academics, inspiring teachers, exciting extracurriculars, close sense of community, and always an emphasis on service to others. We are so happy to be part of the St. Catherine’s community and thankful that we can give this incredible educational experience to our daughter.
