Provide an educational program and learning environment of the
highest level of excellence, in the finest Episcopal School tradition,
for children who would benefit from this program. Provide a secure
setting for learning where children can be nurtured and taught in a
Christ-centered environment, utilizing the wide variety of resources of
the downtown area and the Cathedral to enrich the student’s experience.
Provide a strong foundation for children to develop positively in
self-confidence, character, sense of responsibility, and for growth “in
wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man.” Luke 2:52 Provide a
spiritual environment for children through relationship with St. John’s
Cathedral community, both clergy and laity, through such avenues as
chapel services, music ministry, volunteer opportunities, and
intergenerational activities with Cathedral Towers residents. Provide a
safe, urban School setting, incorporating the child’s family into the
life of the School by providing opportunities for involvement. Offer
extended hours and summer programs consistent with the School’s mission
and quality of program. Demonstrate and maintain School excellence
through recognized professional accreditation and continuing staff

faculty and staff, welcoming those of all races, cultural backgrounds
and religious faiths. Provide funding for financial aid to assist in
meeting this goal.
