Looking for one of the best independent school experiences in New York City? Come see what makes Cathedral different.For 125 years, The Cathedral School has offered A Different Kind of Manhattan Childhood.Located in Morningside Heights on Manhattan's Upper West Side, Cathedral is one of New York City's oldest independent schools and a distinctive K-8 community built around three things that matter deeply: strong academics, character development, and community.Here, students are challenged to think deeply, ask meaningful questions, create, collaborate, and discover what they are capable of. Just as importantly, they learn to lead with confidence, kindness, integrity, and respect. And because Cathedral is intentionally K-8, children grow up in a close community where they are known, supported, and encouraged to become increasingly independent.All of this unfolds on an extraordinary 11-acre campus in Manhattan that gives children something increasingly rare in New York City: room to explore, create, play, think, and grow.As Cathedral celebrates its 125th year, we invite families considering independent and private schools in New York City to experience for themselves what has made generations of Cathedral students and families call this community their own.Meet our Head of School, Erica Corbin, teachers, students, and school leaders. Step inside our classrooms. Walk the grounds. Experience the academics, character, and community that make Cathedral unlike anywhere else.Come see what's behind the gates.A Different Kind of Manhattan Childhood.
