The Cathedral School seeks to admit students who will thrive in the school's learning community founded and grounded in traditions of academic excellence and spiritual development. The Cathedral School accepts students who, in the opinion of the school, can succeed in the learning environment set forth.

The school's Admission Committee evaluates each applicant to determine his or her ability to contribute to and to work within the school's program at a level comparable to that of the applicant's contemporaries currently enrolled. Because The Cathedral School does value the family-feel, traditionally associated with its program, parishioners, siblings and legacies will be considered favorably for admission only after it has been determined that such applicants would be successful in the school's learning environment. The Head of School shall have final authority in the acceptance of all applicants and in any decision regarding the placement of an applicant into a particular grade level.

Admission to The Cathedral School is considered probationary for up to nine (9) weeks to ensure that the school can provide an appropriate learning environment for the student.

The Cathedral School welcomes students of all races, colors, national or ethnic origins and economic backgrounds. The school does not discriminate on the basis of sex, race, color, cultural background or financial status. In order to achieve its goal of building a diverse community, a limited sum of need-based tuition assistance is made available to students each year. Applications for tuition assistance will be made available upon request to parents and guardians of accepted applicants.

Those applying for Pre-K or Kindergarten placement should note that a child must be at least 4 years old for Pre-K and 5 years old for Kindergarten by September 15 in the year in which he or she plans to enter either grade.

In regard to submitting applications for students entering first through fifth grades, please remember that The Cathedral School admission process is an ongoing effort. The Admissions Office will work to process these applications in a timely manner and will place accepted applicants as space permits.
