Cate School

Cate School is a highly selective, coeducational university-preparatory school for boarding and day students in grades 9-12 located in Carpinteria, California, eleven miles from Santa Barbara. The students there like hammocks and PBL math. Cate is the school that Californian white moms would die to send their immature but kind 'big boys' to. Their biggest rival is Thacher School, which is where Cate School rejects go.

"That guy," uttered Sarah "was rejected by Cate School, so now he goes to Thacher"
Cate school combines the best of East Coast tradition and West Coast energy and innovation in the service of highly motivated, independent-minded kids.
