THE WORLD NEEDS BOYS LIKE CHRIS. Our international language and service programs often intersect in meaningful ways. Take Chris, a middle schooler at Cathedral who especially loved service- learning projects that took him off campus and into the wider community. For one recent project, he was paired with a fourth grade student at a local elementary school who spoke Mandarin as his first language and was struggling to communicate in English. Chris had been studying Mandarin at Cathedral but wasn’t yet confident speaking it. Still, he realized that to truly support his partner, he needed to step out of his comfort zone and try. As they worked together, the two boys formed a meaningful connection, showing how Cathedral prepares students to build relationships rooted in empathy, courage, and purpose. “It felt good to help him,” Chris said. “But honestly, I learned just as much from him.”
I love Cathedral. Every day is a new challenge. – ARJUN, 3 RD GRADE
