Read What Students Are SayingThe things I learn in class, I can connect to my outside life. I took a history class last year and to help me study for the final, I watched Pearl Harbor at home and made connections! It was a fun way to help me study! Believe it or not, I also make chemistry connections to things in my everyday life!

The great thing about St. Kate's is the variety of learning styles they incorporate. The location of the school makes for great experiences learning in the community.
New Ulm, MN
I learned so much about myself here at Saint Kates, not only that, but I learned a lot about my critical thinking skills and how to improve on it. When I first started my fall here, we were given classes that helped us gained a better understanding about our own skills and how to improve them for college level. We also were given a course that has helped us engaged in class, embrace diversity and learn about the history of women here at Saint Kates. At first I thought that an all girls school was not my taste, but after spending a semester here, I have come to respect it.
