Adjustable Tuition It is the earnest desire of the Board of Trustees that no boy who is qualified for admission should be denied the opportunity of attendance because of inability to pay the full tuition fees. The Board’s goal in establishing the Adjustable Tuition Program—which is funded, to a large degree, by the School’s endowment—is to create a student body that is reflective of the socioeconomic diversity of the community that Cathedral School serves. Families applying for Adjustable Tuition are asked to complete a confidential statement detailing their financial circumstances. They submit this confidential statement to the School Scholarship Service in Princeton, NJ, an independent agency that evaluates the information provided and summarizes it for the school.
Inquiries concerning Adjustable Tuition and requests for application forms should be emailed to the Director of Finance and Operations, Pierre Jospe at jospe@cathedralschool.net.

Punctuality: The School urges parents to assist in seeing that boys arrive early enough each morning to be in their classrooms at 8:15 a.m. Boys who are late for any reason should report to the Front Desk before proceeding to their classrooms. Parents will be notified if tardiness is recurrent. If a late arrival is anticipated, or it is necessary to be excused because of a medical or dental appointment, boys should bring an explanatory note with them to school. (Dentists and physicians will typically give their young patients such notes.)
