Mrs. Catherine Wise

Catherine “Cat” Wise ​loves to read, and she tries to talk about books with anyone who will listen! Raised in a military family, she attended public school in Italy and then was homeschooled before obtaining a BA in elementary education with a Spanish minor at the University of Mary Hardin Baylor in Texas and becoming a bilingual kindergarten teacher. When her oldest child was a toddler, Cat discovered classical education and fell in love with the idea of cultivating wisdom and virtue through great books, fascinating histories, and the beauty of language. Cat has been classically homeschooling her own three children for ​eleven years and is honored to learn alongside them of the Creator and His magnificent works. She ​reads fiction in much of her spare time, but also enjoys working jigsaw puzzles​, baking yummy desserts​, and attend​ing live theater performances at every opportunity.​ Cat has been teaching for Scholé since 2023 and delights in hosting rich discussions and deep explorations for the students in her literature, grammar, geography, and math courses.
