Saint Catherine's College Armagh (Irish: Coláiste Chaitríona Ard Mhacha) is an all level Catholic school in Armagh, Northern Ireland. This school was established in 1973 originally a convent school. It caters for the 11-18 age group and is associated with the international group of schools served by the Society of the Sacred Heart.
An Sruth Gaeilge, which is an integral part of Saint Catherine's College, provides quality Irish Medium education for those who wish to build on the Irish Language competences acquired in the Bunscoileanna.
It was formed in 1973 when the existing Convent of the Sacred Heart Grammar and Secondary Schools were re-organized on a comprehensive basis to provide secondary education for all the Catholic girls of the greater Armagh area.
Saint Catherine's College is situated on a 30-acre (120,000 m2) site off the Convent Road in Armagh and the existing school buildings have been refurbished and upgraded to ensure the provision of the most modern technological and sporting facilities. A £1.5 million building program has recently been completed with the construction of a new five classroom Information and Communication Technology building. New facilities have also been added to the Irish Medium Unit.
The school caters for the full range of ability and comprises: Key Stage 3 (Years 8, 9 and 10) - located in the main school building, Key Stage 4 (Years 11 and 12) - located in the Barat Building (off Nursery Road) and Sixth Form (Years 13 and 14).
The Principal is Noeleen Tiffney.
Saint Catherine's College was a boarding school in the earlier 1900s and was formed by the Sacred Heart trust to provide education for young girls of all backgrounds.
