Cathedral School exists to serve the Catholic families of the
Cathedral of St. Catharine of Siena, Allentown, as well as
non-parishioners who can benefit from the educational opportunities
offered in our Christ-centered school environment.
As an extension of the family, Cathedral School exists to teach
Catholic Doctrine and to form its students in the Catholic faith,
to promote academic excellence, to build community, to encourage
service to others, and to develop abilities which will encourage
its students to become productive members of society. This is a
continued commitment made at the time of Baptism when parents
promised to "be the first teachers of their child in the ways of
faith...bearing witness to the faith by what they say and do,
in Christ Jesus our Lord." It is within this Christ-centered
atmosphere that we endeavor to accomplish these goals.
As a community of faith, our Cathedral School family witnesses to
the teachings of Christ while educating each student:
- Academically - within a Christian atmosphere;
- Morally - through Christian principles;
- and, Socially - with Christian viewpoints and action.
Our spirit is one of faith, love and understanding, with a firm belief in the potential of the student we educate. As role models within this school community, we strive to imitate and to perpetuate the teachings of Christ; therefore, we represent the larger, self-sacrificing, and dedicated faith community which commissions us "to teach as Jesus did."
Cathedral School provides some curriculum modifications / accomodations for students with special learning needs in general education, as developed by the Diocesan Office of Education.
