As the official choir school of the Archdiocese of San Francisco, The St. Mary’s Cathedral Choir School cultivates academic excellence and spiritual growth in children through a comprehensive choral music program rooted in the Catholic heritage.
Committed to accessibility, we offer choral scholarships so that children from all backgrounds can receive a high-quality Catholic education while embracing a mission of service—using their voices to uplift the Church and community.
The St. Mary’s Cathedral Choir School is located at Stella Maris Academy. 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.
