A Catholic Classical School
The rich history of our school parallels with the history of Austin, a history that stretches from the beginnings of state through the bleak years of the Depression and World War II, to the boom of the late twentieth century, when the Austin metropolitan area reached a population of a million. The unique history of the many generations who have attended Cathedral School of Saint Mary is present on our campus. While the building, curriculum, and faculty have changed over the last 144 years, the values we seek to instill in our students remain the same. The Sisters of the Holy Cross order concentrated on the three R's and Catholic Church teachings in order to guide young lives in the path of Christ. Today, lay faculty members emphasize the same traditional values in order to accomplish the same goals: Christian formation and academic success.
Cathedral School of Saint Mary enriches students and their families spiritually, academically, and socially by fostering a diverse community through, with and in the teachings of Jesus Christ.
Vision: Devoted to walking His Word.
Philosophy: As Christian educators we, in collaboration with each parent, share the privilege and responsibility of facilitating the growth of the whole child. Through our religious and academic program we help to form the spiritual, intellectual, social, and physical development of every student entrusted to us.
