Mission Statement:To foster our students` spiritual strength in the Catholic faith and to challenge them to achieve academic excellence.
Vision Statement: The School of the Cathedral of Mary Our Queen is a Catholic parish school that celebrates the rich historical traditions of the past, works collaboratively with parents to invest in the present, and builds for the future.
We offer students a rigorous, well-rounded education steeped in a Christ-centered environment to meet the challenges and leadership needs of an evolving world.
The School of the Cathedral, a Blue Ribbon School, offers a
strong foundation in spiritual strength, academic
excellence, and 21st-century learning. Located in the academic
corridor of the Homeland/Roland Park area of Baltimore, Maryland,
Cathedral educates students
in kindergarten through eighth grade. Students begin
their academic journey with a traditional Catholic
education - developing their social skills, reading and
writing principles, math and science. Beginning in third
grade we reduce the educational scaffolding supporting the students
as they grow in independence. Students complete their academic
journey in middle school where they serve as leaders in
the school as student ambassadors, liturgical leaders,
mentors, and service project organizers. Cathedral students
score in the top quartile percentage on national standardized
tests. Our standards-based curriculum is developed using the
guidelines from the Archdiocese of Baltimore, as well as
additional resources to ensure our students` success.
To enhance our students` education, technology is
incorporated into every class. Every Middle School student
receives a Chromebook, and every Lower School student has access to
an iPad. Teachers use these tools, along with Google Classroom, to
create a rigorous educational experience. A contemporary
K-8 science lab, electronic whiteboards in every
classroom, and some flexible seating options, and
ensure our students are ready to meet the academic challenges
they will face in high school.
As a Catholic Parish School we attend to our students spiritual
needs through weekly Liturgies, religion
class, sacrament prep, and service projects. Our unique
three-year social justice program in middle school is
marked with a capstone project in 8th grade where students create a
TED-style talk on a social justice and present it to the
community. Faith is woven into every student`s education
at the School of the Cathedral in a way that ensures students
will "act justly, love tenderly, and walk humbly with your
God," as they read from Micah 6:8 every day at the end of the
announcements.
Graduates of Cathedral have experienced a foundation of
academic excellence and spiritual strength, to prepare them to meet
the leadership needs of an evolving world.
