We are a Church of England Primary School in the diocese of Southwark and are committed to ensuring that each child in our care lives life in all its fullness. Our commitment to you is that every child that comes through our doors, no matter what their background or ability, is given the very best start in life. We are a school where children come first, efforts are valued, ambition is nurtured, and where the potential of every child is realized. Cathedral School strives to provide an attractive, safe, well-ordered, child-centered place of learning within a Christian context. Maintaining and sustaining the highest standards of teaching and learning. The school seeks to work positively with parents and carers to fulfill the school’s expectation that all pupils are enabled to achieve at the highest level of which they are capable. As a Church of England Voluntary Aided School, Christian values are built into the ethos. There is a daily act of collective worship, which encourages spiritual development and a mutual understanding of life together. We place a strong emphasis on positive mutual understanding partnerships between home and school, and Parish Life. We attach a high priority to active involvement, building a sense of community, by providing a model of service to all. In the past few years, Cathedral Primary has gone from strength to strength. Our achievements are many, including our best KS2 results which were amongst the highest in the country. High expectations and great enthusiasm for learning are reflected in our extremely high results: In 2013, we were named 21st in the country by the Sunday Times, achieved 66.7% Level 5 in both reading and mathematics, and 29.2% of children achieved Level 6 in mathematics – which is over 5 times the national average. In 2014 the average score achieved by Cathedral School pupils in the examinations (Maths, Writing, Reading, and Grammar) was the highest in the borough. This news is excellent for the school and was on the back of being included in the Sunday Times ‘Top 600 Schools’ report published in November. In 2015 the average grade achieved by Cathedral School pupils in the examinations (Maths, Writing, Reading, and Grammar) was again the highest in the borough. We were also ranked 58th in The Sunday Times list. In 2016, we were again ranked in The Sunday Times list of top-performing schools, in the top 50. In 2017, the percentage of children who achieved a high score in Reading, Writing, and Maths in the KS2 examinations was three times the national figure. The school has received national recognition for the value it adds to its pupils’ high achievement in the key stage 2 tests. The school has qualified for two SSAT Educational Outcomes Awards by being in the top 20% of primary schools nationally their pupils’ high attainment, and in the top 20% for progress made by pupils between their key stage 1 tests, taken at age seven, and their key stage 2 tests, taken at age 11. We were the first school in the borough to achieve the ‘Level 1’ award from UNICEF and in 2013 achieved another borough first and were awarded the top ‘Level 2’ grading. Very few schools across the country hold this award. It is very special and in working towards it, it transformed the school and has had a great impact on teaching and learning and children’s attitudes to each other and the other children around the world. Because of it, our children are increasingly active in playing their part in shaping the world. Our school curriculum is dynamic, and units can be altered and changed within the school year. This could be in response to local and national events, special opportunities afforded the school, or to make even better cross-curricular links at a particular point in the year. The government has made some changes to the National Curriculum which is statutory from September 2014. This change has been a fantastic opportunity for us to review our school curriculum and to continue to develop and plan exciting and challenging learning opportunities for our children. Themed weeks are a fantastic idea because they are really fun and children learn more at the same time as enjoying themselves which I think is important! They seem to help children broaden their experience and awareness. We have always been very proud of our broad, balanced, engaging, and challenging curriculum and so have used this opportunity to incorporate the new National Curriculum requirements into the themes and topics we already have rather than make unnecessary changes. Much of the new curriculum had been trialed over the last academic year with teachers planning to the new requirements in subjects such as Literacy and Numeracy as well as Foundation Subjects. In particular, there will be an even greater focus on cross-curricular links between subjects such as Literacy, History, Geography, Art, and Numeracy as well as Computing and RE. Literacy will often be planned around a text and these may also relate to a topic in a foundation subject such as History or Geography. View full school

The Cathedral School has a very special ethos that underpins all that we do. Our school aims to nurture the talent and personality of each pupil, enabling all to thrive within a mutually respectful and supportive environment. What do we count as success? That young women and men leave here having begun to discover their individuality, with intellectual curiosity as well as excellent examination results, appreciation of beauty and truth as well as knowledge, kindness as well as competitiveness, and with a breadth of interests and experiences which will enable them to make their way confidently in the adult world. Recognizing that all young people have a unique set of skills and enabling all pupils to fulfill their potential. Opportunities abound for all pupils and students to achieve at the Cathedral School. Whether it is studying in the classroom, competing on the sports field, playing a musical instrument, performing in the inspiring drama productions, singing in Llandaff Cathedral, or taking part in the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award scheme. At all stages, academic achievement is supported by a strong Learning Support team, and parents are kept informed of progress through six weekly reports. Prep is set at all levels and carefully monitored, so pupils and students develop good habits of self-directed study. Examination results, at both Junior and Senior levels, are consistently impressed by both regional and national standards. The school is regularly one of the top achieving schools in Wales for examinations and it appears high on UK-wide rankings. However, sometimes the least noticed achievements may be the most significant. What matters in the classroom is everyone working hard in ways they can be proud of. At the Cathedral School, we have a clear vision of what education should be about and seek to live by that vision in our day-to-day interactions with one another and in setting the long-term direction of the school. As a Woodard school, we have a vision of a first-class academic education, an extensive co-curricular program that develops the skills and interests of our pupils outside the classroom, and a commitment to high-quality pastoral care within a Christian context. The school's ethos can be articulated in five themes: achievement, care, opportunity, ambition, and leadership. The School Governors and the Senior Leadership Team seek to ensure high-quality leadership and management at all levels of the school. We are fortunate to have a very able and committed staff, excellent facilities, and a very supportive parental body. All of us have one aim: that each pupil should be cared for, and should thrive both within and beyond the classroom. View full school

St Paul's Cathedral School is a Christian, co-educational community which holds to the values of love, justice, tolerance, respect, honesty, service, and trust in its life and practice, to promote positive relationships throughout the school community and where the safety, welfare and emotional well-being of each child is of the utmost importance. The school aims to instill a love of learning through a broad curriculum. It aims to allow each pupil to develop intellectually, socially, personally, physically, culturally, and spiritually. All pupils are encouraged to work to the best of their ability and to achieve standards of excellence in all of their endeavors. Through the corporate life of the school and good pastoral care, the school encourages the independence of the individual as well as mutual responsibility. It aims to make its pupils aware of the wider community, espouses the democratic process, and encourages a close working relationship with parents and guardians. The Pre-Prep consists of a single form entry for Reception (aged 4+), Year 1 (5+), and Year 2 (6+). Our Reception class follows the Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum (EYFS) whilst the Year 1 and 2 classes follow guidelines that are laid out in the National Curriculum. We aim to challenge the children positively and hopefully achieve above the national average results for all our students. This often results in children completing work that is of a level that is in advance of that expected for pupils of their age. We are lucky to have three bright and airy classrooms and an enviable outdoor play area with climbing frames and Wendy's houses. The curriculum for Reception children focuses on the seven standards of the prime and specific areas of learning set by the EYFS. As pupils enter the Prep School in Year 3 (aged 7+), they begin to experience slightly more independence and specialist teaching. In Years 3 and 4 there are two classes and the form room still acts as a base for the students. The Year 3 and 4 staff teach English, Maths, Science, and the humanities. These latter two are taught through the International Primary Curriculum (IPC). Pupils continue to keep active through weekly swimming, PE, Dance, Games, and Drama lessons with specialist teachers. Art, French, and Music are also taught by specialists. From Year 5, there is further emphasis on specialist teaching. Maths and English are taught in sets and some preparation for Verbal and Non-Verbal reasoning begins. Latin is taught for the first time using the Cambridge Latin Course and by exploring Roman Culture and Myths. By Year 7, with the 13+ syllabus well underway, students are taught in sets for Maths, English, Science, French, and Latin. Some students will also study Ancient Greek. Art, Music, Drama, PE, and Games continue to be an important focus throughout the Prep School and there are many opportunities to explore the talents of individuals. Homework is set each day: 20 minutes for Years 3 and 4 (one subject) 40 minutes for Year 5 rising to an hour (2 subjects) from Year 6.With our central location, we make much use of the resources London has to offer with many educational trips for each year group, from local art galleries and museums to further afield in Norfolk, Snowdonia, and France. About 34 choristers are boarding at the school at any one time. They are housed in a separate building in bright, comfortable dormitories. There are two resident, fully qualified nurses who look after the choristers' health and hygiene and who have flats in the boarding house other residential staff lives adjacent to it. The choristers have their common room with a snooker table, air hockey, table football, play stations as well as a television. They take all meals in the school dining room. There has been a song school associated with Saint Paul's Cathedral since its foundation in 604. The Choir School for boy choristers dates from about 1123 when 8 boys in need of alms were provided with a home and education in return for singing the Cathedral Office. Gradually two schools emerged the Choir School and the Grammar School. For many years they co-existed happily, the choristers graduating to Grammar school to finish their education until the latter was re-founded by Dean Colet in 1511 and became Saint Paul's School. (It is now in Barnes and has only a tenuous connection with the Cathedral.) In the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries, the school was more famous for its acting than its singing. The Children of St Paul's had their resident playwrights, performed regularly at Greenwich Palace before Queen Elizabeth 1 and incurred the wrath of Shakespeare and his professional company just over the river. (In Hamlet he rails against the company of 'little eyes who are roundly applauded for their histrionic efforts). After the Restoration, the choristers enjoyed a somewhat chequered history, but a vigorous campaign by the redoubtable Maria Hackett lasting some sixty years led to the re-establishment of a purpose-built school in Carter Lane to the south-west of the Cathedral in 1874. There it remained until the 1960s, when, under threat of demolition due to a road-widening scheme, it moved to its present site in New Change. View full school

Children have been educated at Wells Cathedral School for over a thousand years, in what has to be one of the world’s most beautiful and inspiring locations. But while a sense of place provides something crucial as a child grows up and learns about themselves and the world in which they live, it is even more important that every child feels comfortable and secure enough to be able to discern, explore and test their talents and interests. Grounded in a timeless tradition and ethos since its origins as a Chorister School, yet adept enough to relish the challenges of the 21st century, Wells Cathedral School provides an encouraging and ambitious education for every child. Whether your son or daughter is in the Sixth Form, Senior, Music, Junior or Nursery School, We believe all children’s school days should be filled with opportunities to explore a range of interests and ideas some will stick, some won’t, but all experiences are valuable and formative. At Wells, we give our pupils numerous opportunities to discover and nurture individual passions, in turn propelling them into a successful and fulfilling life beyond school. We are interested in the education of the whole child so that our pupils become thoughtful, confident, articulate, creative, and caring individuals. The website provides you with an introduction to the wonderful education we offer to our pupils at Wells Cathedral School. Ordinarily, we would also be very keen to invite you to come and see the School yourselves and to meet us. However, since we are unable to accept visitors to the site at the moment, we have prepared a Virtual Tour of our Senior School and Junior School (please see below). We also would be delighted to meet with you ‘virtually’ – please contact our Admissions Department to set up an appointment. And as soon as we are open again physically do please come and see us! Our school is comprised of a dynamic mix of boys and girls aged 2-18 who have a variety of talents across our various school stages: Little Wellies Nursery, Junior School, Senior School, and Sixth Form which are complemented by our Specialist Music Faculty. Our core belief and motto Esto Quod Es (Be What You Are) is what ties our school together and lends itself to a happy, stimulating environment where all our pupils can thrive and develop their talents or even discover new ones. All of our pupils live as part of an accepting community where being friends with people with extraordinary talents is accepted as the norm. We invite everyone to ‘give it a go’ so pupils of all abilities can join in at a level that suits them and make the most of all we have to offer so that they can become the best they can be. Everyone has a refreshing sense of mutual respect, whatever their interests and talents. We provide a wide range of opportunities to support everybody to be the best versions of themselves so they can develop their existing talents and discover new ones. Wells offers a: proven track record in academic excellence specialist music scheme specialist mathematics scheme wide range of co-curricular opportunities to choose from strong creative arts program, ranging from dance, music, art, drama, and more wide range of competitive and recreational sports program of outdoor education opportunities, including Combined Cadet Force (CCF) and the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme, in addition to the school’s own 909 programs. We are always open to new ideas and will do our best to accommodate your interests if you’d like something we don’t currently offer. We ensure that there is an appropriate mixture of structure and freedom to suit each pupil from their early days in the Junior School through to the end of their time with us in the Sixth Form, which offers excellent preparation for further education or future careers. With this in mind, our flexibility enables all our pupils to make the most of their time at school and establishes a brilliant foundation to build on as an adult. This might mean some pupils take more GCSEs or A levels than others whilst some pupils spend more time developing in a specific field. We don’t have a “one size fits all” mentality we have a “let’s work out what’s best for your future” mentality. View full school

At CCCS we are committed to developing and providing an environment that is stimulating, challenging, and exciting and where pupils, therefore, feel fulfilled and confident in themselves. We aim to get the best from every child in our School by setting high standards through dynamic teaching by focusing on the child as an individual and by ensuring that in all areas of school life there is a positive and encouraging atmosphere where achievement is a reality for all and where pupils learn to think for themselves and to acquire the skills of the independent learner. We expect good manners and common courtesy towards all people in all situations and promote appreciation of and respect for difference: everyone here should feel valued and an important part of our community. We believe that this can be most effectively achieved if there is a healthy partnership between the School, pupils, and parents. As a school rooted in the traditions of the Church of England, we have, as a central purpose, the development of the spiritual and moral lives of our pupils with the corresponding expectations of behavior towards others and to both the school and wider communities. We also seek to encourage pupils to approach new challenges with confidence, not fearing failure but learning from it. Finally, we aim to produce pupils who are resourceful, motivated, imaginative, and reflective so that when they leave our school, they will relish the challenges of life and be ready to flourish at their chosen senior schools. We have three departments: the Nursery (for boys and girls aged 3-4) housed in Cardinal Wolsey’s former residence the Pre-Prep (for boys aged 4-6) and Prep (boys 7-13) mostly accommodated in the modern Walton Centre. We build on long and strong traditions but look forward, aiming to prepare each boy for the challenges of the next stage of his education, to nurture talent, and to build self-esteem. We have tried on our website to give you a flavor of our busy, happy, and successful School, but words and pictures can only go so far: there is no substitute for seeing us for yourself. When you visit you will be assured of a warm welcome and we hope that you will decide, as so many other parents have done, that you could see your child learning, playing, and thriving at Christ Church Cathedral School. The School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Everything written on this website is premised upon that fact and we are always mindful of this when formulating responses and strategies. Our Nursery is where the story begins. It is housed in a 16th-century building in which Cardinal Wolsey sketched the plans for his college with a garden in the shadow of Christ Church's imposing frontage. The Nursery follows the Montessori philosophy and approach to learning combined with other more traditional methods of teaching. The underlying philosophy of the Montessori approach is to cultivate each child’s innate curiosity whilst developing concentration, coordination, independence, and order. Our experienced staff aims to instill a love of learning, independence, and a sense of having a meaningful place in our community here at CCCS. The Headmaster reads to the Nursery every week. The Pre-Preparatory Department, which includes Reception, Form 1, and Form 2, is where the foundations are consolidated. Class sizes throughout Pre-Prep are small - 16 in Reception and 18 in Forms 1 and 2 – which allows our teachers to focus on each boy as an individual. Pre-Prep New.jpgUnder the close direction of our Head of Pre-Prep, Miss Farmer, the boys are encouraged and motivated in the wide range of academic, musical, and sporting activities on offer. Our inspirational teaching staff ensures that the boys are fully engaged and challenged throughout their school day in a nurturing and caring atmosphere. Specialist class music is standard and instrumental tuition is available for those who show early promise. Children take home their books to read with parents each day and are gradually introduced to short tasks for homework. Our curriculum is broadly based on that set by the government (ie the Early Years Foundation Stage in Reception and the National Curriculum), although we often teach well in advance of these requirements and enjoy the freedom to follow the boys' interests and go off at a tangent where appropriate. Our strong belief is that if boys are allowed to be boys they will, ironically, mature more quickly. If they are educated in a context where their imaginations are sparked, where their curiosity is engaged, and where they enjoy themselves, they will start thinking for themselves, they will work hard and they will care profoundly about the work they are doing. In essence, they will succeed in all walks of life, most particularly academically. Our boys learn to voice their views fearlessly they learn that to ask questions is the best way of learning how to answer them. We believe that pupils thrive when they are happy when they are treated with kindness and consideration and when the expectations placed on them are high. To treat them otherwise is not to take them seriously. View full school

Welcome to our St. George’s Cathedral Catholic Primary School. At St George’s Cathedral Catholic Primary School, we teach a broad and balanced creative curriculum that is based around exciting cross-curricular projects and meaningful, stimulating tasks. Our aim is for all children to become confident, successful, life-long learners who achieve their full God-given potential. At St. George’s Cathedral Catholic Primary School we firmly believe that effective assessment is what lies at the heart of good teaching and learning. Assessment is happening in every classroom, every lesson, every day at our school and it involves everyone! We are passionate in our belief that every child can succeed and make progress in their learning journey, and it is the assessment of where children are in this journey that allows teachers to decide where they need to go next and how best to get them there. St. George’s Cathedral Catholic Primary School is committed to valuing all members of the school community and strives to ensure that the opportunities to succeed are equal for all. As a primary school, we believe we have a key role in society in combating discrimination and promoting fairness, justice, and equality through our teaching and in the role models we offer. Prayer and worship are at the heart of our school. The children have many opportunities for worship including daily class worship, independent, child-led worship which is planned and organized by pupils. The school day begins and ends with morning and evening prayers. This is held in the classrooms with all classed based staff and pupils involved. It is a beautiful way of coming together at the start and end of the day. Staff and pupils lead this and often ask for special prayers to be said or people remembered. All children understand that they can ask for a personal intention and can compile and share their prayers. Grace before meals is said in every class before lunch play. Community cohesion is a core value and ethics and cultural diversity have always been a rich feature of St. George’s Cathedral Catholic Primary School. Other religions are taught at the school and diversity is celebrated through cultural assemblies. We follow the RE scheme ‘Come and See’ and teachers endeavor to ensure that the Gospel values and the principles of the integrated into all aspects of the curriculum especially English, history, geography, science, and PSHE and Citizenship. Art enables children to explore and understand the world around them. Children’s love for art, from the past and other cultures, is fostered through visits to galleries and museums. We consider drawing to be a key skill that needs to be taught. All units of work start by drawing from the first-hand experience, this develops observational and perceptual skills. Through these experiences, children develop an understanding of the elements of art and develop an art vocabulary to review and evaluate their work. As part of our artwork, we also study artists and the work of artists from different periods. At St. George’s Cathedral Catholic Primary school we aim to teach children to love English, to read and write to a high standard, and for pleasure. We also teach them to speak to a range of different audiences and to listen well and with skill. We aim to encourage children to feel passionate about reading and writing and to inspire personal interest and curiosity about a range of literacy activities as well as working towards all children achieving National Standards in English. The curriculum includes reading, writing, spelling, handwriting, grammar, speaking and listening, and drama. Each unit of work taught lasts from 2 to 4 weeks and helps the children to develop specific skills. Throughout their time at St. George’s Cathedral, children will cover a large range of fiction genres as well as reading and writing different non-fiction text types. As a school, we use Oxford Reading Tree as our reading scheme. In teaching phonics throughout the school we use Letters and Sounds. To support writing across the curriculum, children visit museums and other places of interest for history and geography, watch plays by visiting theatre groups, work with authors and participate in writing and drama workshops. All of these experiences are used to help inspire and extend writing. At St. George’s Cathedral, we use a scheme called ‘Rising Stars’ which provides a basis for development. We also use professional support from Andrew Goodgame at Wandsworth CLC who works alongside teachers on how to use iPads to develop teaching and learning. The safe use of the internet is also a focus in our school with children being taught about the benefits and possible dangers of internet use. We have also had several successful sessions for parents on cyber-bullying and internet safety delivered by Andrew Goodgame. View full school

‘Warm’, ‘caring’, ‘happy’ – these are the three most popular words used by parents to describe Salisbury Cathedral School (SCS). Our unique setting, adjacent to one of England’s finest cathedrals, helps to cultivate a strong spiritual awareness and Christian values underpin everything that we do. We believe a child’s self-esteem is vital to their success. At SCS, we foster an unpressured environment where pupils are encouraged and congratulated every step of the way, celebrating their achievements and promoting a strong sense of self-worth. Our focus on the individual child means that all staff plays a role in discovering strengths and areas that need guidance and support. This approach works. Our academic results are impressive and consistently out-perform competing schools but, more than this, the children who leave us are confident, self-assured, well-rounded, and comfortable in their skins. Music is at the heart of SCS and is undoubtedly one of our major strengths. The school educates the boy and girl choristers of Salisbury Cathedral and their expertise and skills enrich the lives of all members of our community. All children are encouraged to play an instrument and the wide range of ensembles, both choral and instrumental, is outstanding. However, we offer so much more. Whether it is performing ambitious drama productions, winning regional science competitions and national sporting accolades, writing inspiring poetry or creating beautiful metalwork, pottery, and art, we feel we have something to bring out every child’s talents. The best way to appreciate what we can offer your child is to visit us on a normal school day. We would be delighted to show you around. We are intrinsically a part of Salisbury Cathedral and as such our Christian foundation is at the heart of everything we do. We believe in sharing with parents the spiritual, moral, and intellectual development of children, and our Christian community, which welcomes people from all faiths and those with no faith, is based on integrity, generosity, and compassion. This ethos underpins the school’s 8 core values of creativity, community, discovery, leadership, resilience, self-discipline, teamwork, and thinking. These form the basis of children’s academic and pastoral development and are values that we hope will continue to be important to children throughout their lives. Our aims are: To provide outstanding teaching where academic, sporting, artistic and musical excellence is sought and celebrated we want all pupils to be encouraged, excited, and challenged through learning. To be an environment where self-esteem and strong friendships are fostered through outstanding pastoral care, and where open and trusting relationships with parents enable each child to flourish as they discover their interests we want to develop children who better understand themselves, others, and the world around us us us them. To be an outstanding choir school, supporting a cathedral choir of international standing, which inspires and provides wide-ranging musical excellence for the benefit of every child.

Cathedral Catholic High School has a rich heritage comprised of 60 years and three campuses. Cathedral Girls' High School, located in downtown San Diego, was founded in 1943. In 1970 Cathedral Girls' merged with University High School, founded in 1957, on the campus in Linda Vista. In 1986, University High School became University of San Diego High School (nicknamed UNI or USDHS.) In 2005, UNI transitioned to the Carmel Valley campus and took on the new name, Cathedral Catholic High School (CCHS.) Cathedral Catholic High School is a Diocesan Catholic co-educational High School. CCHS is a college preparatory school conducted in and animated by the Catholic tradition. Our academic and co-curricular programs reflect this tradition and adherence to our particular mission and philosophy statements.

Cathedral High School has been part of the Indianapolis community since 1918. Her graduates number among some of the most accomplished business, community, government, and religious leaders in the state and country. As one of just 15 Holy Cross high schools in the country, Cathedral has been blessed to pass on the values and philosophy of educating the whole child, heart, mind, and spirit in an atmosphere of inclusion and Diversity. The result is that today, Cathedral continues to be one of the most diverse schools in Indianapolis. The school is at the forefront of education advances through an ongoing emphasis on next-generation learning techniques. Plus, Cathedral has the largest and most active alumni network of any high school in Indiana. Cathedral, a premier Catholic high school in the Holy Cross tradition, transforms a diverse group of students spiritually, intellectually, socially, emotionally, and physically to have the competence to see and the courage to act. Cathedral will be the Catholic high school of the future, providing the best possible education for the individual student with a firm foundation in Holy Cross values. As the saying goes, "Diversity Is Everyone's Business." Here at Cathedral, we want each student, parent, faculty, staff, and administrator to play a role in this critical agenda. There are so many ways our school, families, and friends of Cathedral can contribute to our commitment to Diversity. Cathedral's commitment to Diversity goes way beyond just providing information; it is about action. It is exciting to share news and information about the various activities, initiatives, changes in the world of Diversity in our school and extended community. A Holy Cross Education combines information and formation to transform our students and empower them to make a difference. We will place the education side by side with instruction. Instruction transmits particular knowledge and skills, while education (of the heart) fosters the values, attitudes, and behaviors which will use that knowledge and those skills appropriately and productively. The quality that defines the students of a Holy Cross education heritage is the training of the hearts and minds. Proper education is the formation of the hearts and transforming of values in people. If we are to influence the future, we must do what we do well to create a better time than ours. Even though we base our philosophy on faith, no one need fear that we will confine our teaching within narrow and unscientific boundaries. We will accept the discoveries of science without prejudice and in a manner adapted to the needs of our times. We do not want our students to be ignorant of anything they should know. To this end, we shall avoid no sacrifice… We will always place education side by side with instruction. The mind will not be cultivated at the expense of the heart. While we prepare useful citizens for society, we shall likewise do our utmost to prepare citizens for heaven. At Cathedral, our definition of academic excellence encompasses more than grades. As the founder of the Brothers of Holy Cross, Basil Moreau, believed we should provide students with every bit of knowledge they will need. But more than that, we should also give them the understanding and character to put that knowledge to fair use, for themselves and others. We believe that academic excellence is the result of an exceptional kind of educator. Cathedral teachers are expected to live by our Characteristics of Professional Excellence, providing students with outstanding academics and role models, mentors, and friends who will profoundly shape their intellectual and spiritual growth.
