Unique features: It has well-equipped classrooms and laboratories and a newly furbished library that offers information on one’s fingertips. Cathedral is also probably the only one that not only has a traditional school choir, but also a rock concert of their own called ‘Encore’.

“Our school provides an environment that encourages growth, fosters creativity, exploration and discovery; where children can find magic in the mundane, enjoy the gift of robust laughter, broaden their intellectual, physical and emotional horizons and build a strong sense of integrity, compassion and generosity of spirit.”

- Meera Isaacs, principal
