What Cathedral parents say
“As a mother [of] three, I have experienced two years of three grades. … As different as they all are, they have found thoughtful teachers, fast friends, and a genuine enthusiasm for going to school each day.”
“As a parent to two daughters in lower school, I found the school’s approach … prepares students for the demands for middle school and HS.”

Private school, for less than you’d think
Tuition for 2026-27 is $14,340, or $12,890 for registered parishioners. Every grade pays the same tuition, PreK4 through 8th. Pick once and you’re done, with no second school search for middle school.
Where our 8th graders go next: Baltimore’s Catholic and private high schools.
Plant them here in PreK4. Today we learn. Tomorrow we lead.
Tuition assistance is available too. Ask Jennifer McDermond, our Director of Enrollment, about it at the Open House. It’s one of the most common questions we get, and she’d be glad to walk you through it.
From PreK4 to 8th grade graduation
One school, the whole way through.
Open House questions parents ask
Should I bring my child?
You’re welcome to! The visit is geared to parents, so there’s no separate kids’ program, but little ones are always welcome to tag along.
Is it a regular school day?
Yes! That’s the point. You’ll see classrooms the way they really run.
Is tuition assistance available?
Yes. Ask Jennifer at the Open House, or see our grants and aid page.
My child is older than Kindergarten. Should I still come?
Yes! The Open House covers every grade, PreK4 through 8th. Pick “Another grade” on the form and we’ll make sure you see the classrooms you care about.
