Why an All-Boys Education?

We understand boys. We know that there are many ways to be a boy, and we approach each boy individually. We appreciate that each boy learns differently and at his own pace. Not only do our teachers appreciate boy energy, enthusiasm, spirited inquiry, learning styles, and deep camaraderie, they specifically choose to work at an all-boys school. This dedication to understanding best how all boys learn is fundamental to our purpose in providing an “excellent education for boys at the elementary level,” as written in our Mission Statement. We believe in the value of building character and helping boys learn to make responsible decisions. Cathedral is distinguished by a spirit of brotherhood and abiding friendships that exist within every classroom and extend across all the grades.
