“We enrolled our two year old in two different, highly recommended daycares, and toured countless others. But our son would refuse to enter those classrooms and would fight going to school almost every day. Now he’s excited to go to his class at the Cathedral School. All of the teachers and administrators say hi to him in the hallways, and he says hi back. The administration is, by far, the most professional, communicative, and dedicated staff we’ve met. In their open house, they describe how they prioritize teacher retention; our son’s teacher has been there for two decades. ‘Relief’ is not strong enough of a word to describe how we feel having found this place.”
Calder and Lindsey Yates
Our daughter has been at The Cathedral School since she was about 9 months old, and we have loved every day of it. The school has the most attentive and caring teachers and administrators and we appreciate the mix of play and real learning that happens. We have been blown away by how much she has learned in her time at Cathedral and how quickly she has reached every milestone with her teachers’ help and support. She has also formed beautiful little friendships that we know will last into the future, long beyond her time at the school.“

As a parent, I love him attending because he learns so much and is cared for by the teachers and staff like he is part of their family.“

“My granddaughter has just completed her second year at TCS. She loves it and so do we! As a grandparent and retired elementary school teacher, the nurturing, loving, safe and consistent atmosphere that TCS provides is important to me. My granddaughter has had the opportunity to flourish socially and academically at this wonderful place. The teachers and staff at TCS are experts at what they do!“

“TCS has provided a safe, loving, and supportive environment for our children. TCS prioritizes education and I am often amazed at what my little ones have learned. TCS also understands the schedules of working parents and strives to provide uninterrupted care. Our kids are excited to go to school and we know they are constantly loved there.“
