Catherine Mathews was born in and has spent most of her life in Utah. She was introduced to Montessori philosophy when her children were young and fell in love with its beautiful education for life. Cathie has been involved in Montessori environments since 2002. She received her Early Childhood Certification through the Institute of Guided Studies and joined the FMSL staff in 2017. Cathie has taught in Early Childhood and Early Elementary Montessori environments and has enjoyed both. In June of 2023, Catherine began her Montessori Leadership certification and was named the Head of School. She has felt just as much love and passion in supporting adults as she has always experienced with children. In July of 2024 Catherine & her husband Brian, along with Doug & Teresa Reed, purchased FMSL. They are so happy to watch as FMSL becomes a vibrant school once again. Cathie’s greatest love is her family. Together, she and her husband, Brian, are the parents of 2 girls and 4 boys, plus one bonus daughter. She feels the best gig in her life is that of being a grandparent!
