The Madeleine Choir School is a private, Catholic elementary and middle school dedicated to educating the whole child through a faith‑centered liberal arts curriculum enriched with exceptional music and choral training. Established in the tradition of the Cathedral of the Madeleine, the school serves students from Preschool (Pre‑K) through 8th grade, providing a distinctive educational experience that blends rigorous academics with daily spiritual formation and a robust music program.
As a Catholic institution, The Madeleine Choir School’s mission emphasizes intellectual growth, artistic expression, spiritual development, and community service. Students engage in a comprehensive core curriculum including language arts, mathematics, science, social studies, foreign languages, theology, and visual arts. Embedded within this academic framework is a highly regarded choral and music program — a hallmark of the school — which nurtures musical talent in every student and anchors community life through liturgical and concert performances that extend beyond the classroom.
The school’s environment reinforces Catholic values and fosters moral formation alongside scholastic achievement. Regular prayer, liturgical participation, and service learning opportunities cultivate spiritual depth and compassionate citizenship. Community engagement and performance experiences — including concerts with local partners and participation in festival series — further enrich students’ educational journeys and build confidence in public performance settings.
With small class sizes and a dedicated faculty, The Madeleine Choir School combines academic excellence and musical artistry in a supportive faith‑based environment. As a private Catholic school, it stands apart from public education by offering families a values‑grounded alternative that emphasizes both scholastic achievement and the formation of character and spiritual life. The school partners with parents and the Diocese to build a strong foundation for lifelong learning and service, making it an attractive option for families seeking a holistic, faith‑infused education for their children.
