Who We Are

At Cathedral School for Boys, we believe we must continue to define what it means to educate and raise boys. We devote each day to the spirited dialogue, dynamic lessons, and intentional character-building that guide each young boy to engage in the way that best fits him, while he simultaneously develops empathy and respect for the world around him.
 
Because Cathedral is here to raise the bar on raising boys. Click here to request further information about educating your son(s) at Cathedral.

At Cathedral School, we know boys. We know that educating boys means attending to every part of their development. As such, we are experts in understanding what helps each boy laugh, learn, collaborate, play, think, and reflect.
 
A Cathedral School education means that boys are challenged to think critically and to engage actively. Learning is not a stagnant process at Cathedral. Boys learn best when they are learning by doing, and, as a result, our classrooms, labs, rooftop field, music rooms, gym, drama space, and learning commons are lively centers of engagement and curiosity — and activity!
 
While boys are here, their Minds, Hearts, Hands, and Voices are nurtured at every stage of their development because we believe in preparing boys not only to be successful thinkers and learners but — and perhaps more importantly — to be compassionate and caring leaders for tomorrow as well.
 
We look forward to sharing Cathedral with you and your family!
