St. Catherine's College (St. C's) is a semi-independent Catholic day and boarding school in Westminster, a central district of Emmington, Septentria, Insulamia. It was a single-sex school named St. Catherine's Catholic College for Girls from its establishment in 1897 until 1974, when the Education for All Act mandated the school allow all sexes to enrol. It caters for 1,226 students, as of 2022, from grade 1 to grade 12.
The Sisters of Mercy, a Catholic religious institute, founded the school in 1897. Under the Education for All Act of 1974, the school started accepting males and became a semi-independent school—substantially government-funded and tuition-free.
