Welcome!
Welcome to the Saint Paul's Choir School Virtual Open House! It is my sincere pleasure to share with you what makes Saint Paul's such a special place to educate your child. It is not just that we are an all-boys Catholic day school in the center of Harvard Square. And it is not just that we are an internationally-touring Choir School with a rich history that dates to our founding in 1963. The school is special because of its mission.

About Saint Paul's Choir School
read our brochure!
"Having been raised in the English Cathedral choir tradition, I know firsthand how transformative a boy's chorister education can be. There's nothing like it, and the tradition at Saint Paul's Choir School is justly renowed."
James Kennerley
Director of Music
"As a Catholic institution, we form boys in every dimension - intellect, body, and heart. Graduates go on to act as a force for justice, peace, beauty, and progress in our society."
