Back to School by the Numbers

September 10, 2017

On September 10 students arrived back on the Mesa after one of Cate’s signature programs, Outings Week. Freshmen spent a week at Pyles Camp, sophomores headed to Yosemite, and juniors backpacked through the Kern River Valley. It was an initiation of sorts for Cate’s 78 new students who had arrived just three weeks ago. After a whirlwind of activity during the opening of school, new students are settling into the swing of things at Cate.

This fall the School welcomed 67 freshmen (the Class of 2021), 8 new sophomores, and 3 new juniors. Those new students come from 36 California zip codes, ten states, and nine foreign countries, including Canada, Japan, Tanzania, and the U.K.
