Campus Sculptures
Catlin School founder Ruth Catlin wrote in her philosophy statement that the school should maintain "healthful, comfortable, cultural, simple and beautiful surroundings." To that end, the campus is dotted with art, both indoors and outdoors. The campus sculptures delight, surprise, and enrich the daily lives of our students, teachers, and community members.
