Spirituality
The mission statement of The Cathedral School highlights its Episcopal identity as a community that welcomes children and families of all faiths and no religious affiliation. In our approach to the study of religion and emphasis on character education, we welcome the diverse voices and experiences of our community into the conversation. Through chapel, all-school evensongs, and classroom inquiry, The Cathedral School is a place where students can begin to develop spiritual literacy and explore questions of purpose and meaning.
Know Wonder: Inclusive Spirit, Cultural Competency
What is an Episcopal Education?
•Begins from the premise that we (faculty, students, administrators, staff) are all a community of explorers, that we all need to continue to learn and to grow
•Encourages all students, faculty, and staff to pursue questions wherever they lead, to use their critical faculties, to value the learning and thought we have inherited from the past
•Does not enforce an unquestioning acceptance of a preordained set of doctrines
•Raises issues of meaning, identity, and ultimate truth
"It is truly a joy to be able to step into the role of Chaplain, and I’m excited for the many opportunities we will have to connect and create community together. Cathedral’s commitment to inclusivity, equity, and multi-faith celebration and exploration make this school unique. I am proud to be both a Cathedral parent and a member of the team working to foster meaningful and life-giving traditions and experiences within this community."
