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.

      City Hope Saturday Volunteer Breakfast

      City Hope Community Center serves as a trusted gathering space in the Tenderloin for our neighbors on the margins. The Cathedral School community will be serving breakfast one Saturday a month again this year, 7:30–10:30am. Please Note: City Hope requests that volunteers be at least nine years old to participate. Volunteers 9–12 years of age need a supervising adult serving alongside them (equaling one volunteer total). Students ages 13 and older are welcome to serve as an independent volunteer. Volunteers may be asked to help cook in the kitchen, serve food or drinks, or clean up the meals. Please join us in serving a hot meal with love to our friends in the Tenderloin. Waiver Required: A waiver is required and can be found by clicking here.
