Strategic Framework

Responding with purpose

As we commemorate the 125th anniversary of our founding, National Cathedral School also looks to the next 125 years. We mark this milestone with both celebration and aspiration, through an ambitious, agile, and readily adaptable strategic framework.

Now more than ever, the world needs confident, capable, compassionate women educated in precisely our model.

This strategic framework ensures National Cathedral School builds boldly on our foundational strengths and defining mission—becoming the best version of who we’ve always been and what we’ve always done, through scholarship, fellowship, leadership, and stewardship—and trusting our authentic excellence to resonate with those who share our values and purpose.
