Welcome!

Thank you for your interest in The Cathedral School! We are delighted to share more about our dynamic blend of academic excellence, character development, and passion for learning which yields bold minds and thoughtful scholars.

As a K-8 independent school, our teachers are uniquely qualified to educate young minds, fostering a strong sense of community and providing early leadership opportunities. We offer innovative art, music, technology, and language programs within a traditional framework. Our rigorous curriculum sets high academic expectations, emphasizing experiential and inquiry-based learning with a focus on critical thinking, while also valuing character building, responsibility, and a deep respect for others. Students at The Cathedral School develop exceptional academic foundations and become articulate, confident, and kind individuals.

Nestled in the heart of Manhattan, our historic, century-old 11-acre campus is a peaceful sanctuary for both play and learning. The only one of its kind in Manhattan, our ample green space filled with playgrounds, trees, and lawns serves as a refuge from the busy city outside our gates and a canvas for large-scale STEAM projects where children connect with both learning and nature.

Our graduates, who go on to matriculate to top high schools and universities, are known for their academic achievements, innovative spirit, love of learning, and strength of character. They leave The Cathedral School confident and ready to be successful leaders and engaged citizens.

We encourage you to explore our website, call or email us, follow us on social media, and schedule a visit. We look forward to working with your family throughout the admission process.

Sincerely, 

Delvida Sene and the Cathedral Admissions Team
