St. Mary’s Cathedral Choir School


The St. Mary’s Cathedral Choir School will be moving to its new home at Stella Maris Academy in the Fall of 2024. A comprehensive choral music program for children encompassing classroom music instruction inspired by the Kodaly and the Ward Method is coupled with daily choir practices within a classical curriculum which fosters academic excellence. Developed in 2009 and fully established in 2022, the choir appears frequently at liturgies and concerts, many of them with the Archbishop. The choir’s regular choir tours to Rome and the California Missions have earned the choir both local and international acclaim.
