About Us

In January, 2012, the Archdiocese of Philadelphia announced Assumption BVM School in Feasterville, PA would merge with St. Bede the Venerable School in Holland, PA to form a new Regional Catholic School. The newly formed school, Saint Katharine Drexel Catholic School (SKD), is an elementary school located on the campus of St. Bede the Venerable Parish in Holland. The school resides within the Council Rock School District of Northampton Township, Bucks County, PA, but also serves students in the Neshaminy, Bensalem, Pennsbury, and Centennial public school districts.
SKD is a faith-based educational community of over 400 students from pre-K through eighth grade. Demographically, SKD families and students form a generally upper-socioeconomic but culturally diverse community. Outside of the school building, the 25 acre campus includes lighted soccer fields, baseball fields, basketball hoops, a track, and separate playgrounds for primary grades and kindergarten students. The campus also includes a separate pre-kindergarten facility and playground. The mission of SKD is to form Catholic leaders through academic excellence, personal discipline, and Christian service. The SKD curriculum challenges students to become 21st century learners and empowers them to reach their maximum potential personally, academically, emotionally, socially, and spiritually. The school's gymnasium, art and science center, state-of-the-art media center, TV production studio, fine arts music lab, learning support center, and resource library, as well as its physical attachment to the parish's main church and auxiliary chapel, allow the SKD faculty to promote creativity, problem solving, hands-on learning, and spiritual development. |
