Applying to Kindergarten

Please note that Kindergarten applicants must be 5 years old by December 31, 2025.

Once you have submitted your application, you will receive further information on the following next steps:

Step 1: Child Visit and Parent/Guardian Tour

Child visits take place in person in small groups and last approximately one hour. At the same time, parents and guardians will have a campus tour, providing an in-depth look at our classrooms, programs and facilities.

Please schedule the Child Visit and Parent/Guardian Tour prior to the Parent/Guardian Interview to ensure that we have had the opportunity to get to know your child in advance of our conversation. 

Step 2: Parent/Guardian Interview

During this in 30-minute appointment, you will meet with an admission representative to have a conversation about your child and your family and ask any questions you may have about our school. For your convenience, this appointment can take place on campus or via Zoom - please contact us at csadmissions@cathedralnyc.org for scheduling assistance. 

Step 3:  Fall Open House - Registration is available on our website or through your Applicant Checklist.

We are excited to invite you to visit our campus on one of the three dates below to hear from Head of School Erica Corbin, Administrators, Faculty, and Students about The Cathedral School program. (Please note that attendance is optional but recommended, and it is not necessary to submit an application before attending an Open House.)

The dates of our Fall Open Houses are:
Tuesday, October 15, 2024 6:00 - 7:30 p.m. 
Saturday, October 26, 2024 10:00 - 11:00 a.m.
