About Us
Mission Statement
Educating God's children in their exploration of the world: Saint Johns Cathedral School and Early Learning Center's mission is to provide an exemplary educational program which will nurture children to become lifelong learners who are inquisitive and seek the truth. The School's foundation is the faith and tradition of the Episcopal Church.
Educational Philosophy
The Cathedral School’s educational philosophy is based upon the foundation of the historic commitment of the Episcopal Church to excellence in the ministry of education. Recognizing each as a unique child of God, we seek to develop children spiritually, cognitively, morally, socially, emotionally and physically within an exemplary, balanced program, appropriate to age and abilities.
Objectives
Our objective here at The Cathedral School is to 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. We also strive to 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 Saint John’s Cathedral to enrich the student’s experience.
We place a high priority on providing a strong educational foundation for your children so that each child may develop positively in self-confidence, character, responsibility, and social, emotional, and physical growth. Here at The Cathedral School, we provide a spiritual environment for your child so that they grow “in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man” (Luke 2:52) while participating in our relationship with Saint John’s Cathedral community, both clergy and laity. Special activities that your child will participate in include chapel services, music ministry, and intergenerational activities with Cathedral Towers’ residents.
The Cathedral School, a safe, urban school setting, provides opportunities for the family’s involvement in educational experiences. We maintain consistency in our mission and programs’ quality during the school year, as well as during our summer enrichment programs. As part of our school’s desire to maintain excellence, our staff participates in continual professional development.
We also seek diversity within the student body, faculty, and staff, welcoming those of all races, cultural backgrounds, and religious faiths in hopes to grow together.
