This article outlines the admissions process, eligibility, and requirements for families applying to Cathedral School for Boys.

Who Can Apply

Cathedral School for Boys welcomes applications for Kindergarten through Grade 8, depending on space availability in each grade. The school serves boys from a wide range of educational backgrounds who demonstrate readiness for Cathedral’s academic program and community expectations.

Eligibility and grade availability vary by year.

The Application Process

While specific requirements may evolve slightly year to year, the admissions process typically includes:

• A completed application form
• Student assessments or screening (age-appropriate)
• Classroom visits and/or school visits
• Family conversations with Admissions staff
• Teacher recommendations (for certain grades)

Admissions timelines and deadlines are published annually and should be reviewed carefully.

Sibling, Alumni, and Faculty Consideration

In alignment with many independent schools, Cathedral may give special consideration to:

• Siblings of current students
• Sons of alumni
• Children of faculty and staff

All applicants, however, are evaluated through the same holistic process and must demonstrate readiness and fit.

Tuition and Financial Accessibility

Cathedral is committed to making its education accessible to families from a wide range of socioeconomic backgrounds. Adjustable Tuition is available based on demonstrated financial need, and families are encouraged to apply for assistance if affordability is a concern.

Admissions and tuition assistance processes run concurrently but are reviewed separately.

Decision Notifications and Enrollment

Admission decisions are communicated according to the published timeline. Families who receive offers of admission are given a defined period to respond and submit enrollment materials.

Enrollment is finalized upon receipt of a signed contract and deposit.
