Why Baltimore families choose Cathedral
A Catholic PreK4 through 8th grade school, tucked behind the church in Baltimore’s historic Homeland neighborhood.
Full-day PreK4
Many area pre-K programs run half days. Ours is a full school day, 7:55 to 2:50, from the very start.
Full-day K and 1st grade
Kindergarten and 1st grade run the full school day too, with the same Extended Day option.
One school through 8th grade
Start in PreK4 and stay through 8th. No second school search for middle school.
Ready for high school
Our 8th graders head to Baltimore’s top Catholic and private high schools.
Extended Day after school
Extended Day starts right at dismissal, so work days still work.
Faith from day one
A Catholic school in the Cathedral of Mary Our Queen parish. Today we learn. Tomorrow we lead.
