Located at 350 East 56th Street, between First and Second Avenue, in Manhattan, academic success has been synonymous with Cathedral H.S. since its founding in 1905. Cathedral welcomes young women of all faiths and cultures and is a community of students, teachers, staff and parents committed to excellence in education, as well as the continued growth of its students in religious maturity, moral integrity and a sense of social justice.
As a Catholic college preparatory school, Cathedral has educated generations of young women to meet their scholastic potential. Aside from offering an Honors program and Advanced Placement courses, Cathedral also offers programs in medicine, law, business and languages which include Spanish, Mandarin, American Sign Language and Latin as well as electives, such as forensic science and anatomy, robotics, women’s studies, broadcasting and journalism, graphic design, art and music to name a few.
Cathedral is immensely proud of its Medical Gateways program. Through partnerships with New York’s world-class medical community, students have opportunities to observe medical professionals at work and to participate in internships while still in high school. The students receive first-hand experience in institutions such as Beth Israel, New York University and New York Presbyterian.
In the law program students explore careers in the legal system and participate in internships with law firms. They take special classes and attend Saturday workshops that explore different legal and professional topics. The program goes hand-in-hand with the Catholic value of social justice.
A full complement of extracurricular activities keeps the career-minded student body well rounded. From clubs such as the drama, cheerleading, marching band, dance, musical theater and choir to sports which include basketball, soccer, softball, lacrosse, cross country, volleyball and more, young women at Cathedral can explore a wide variety of interests.
Cathedral prepares its students for the world that lies ahead . All members of the Class of 2014 were accepted into college which included schools such as College of the Holy Cross, NYU Polytechnic, NYU and Villanova University. They received over $19 million in scholarships and grants.
