VISION

The vision of Cathedral Christian School is to strive for excellence in spiritual, intellectual, emotional, and physical development in a “scriptural“ atmosphere. 

MISSION STATEMENT

Cathedral Christian School teaches the Christian view of life as presented in the Bible.  Our process of education seeks to develop each student spiritually, academically, socially, and physically.  Since complete education is primarily a parental responsibility, Cathedral Christian School is an extension of the home.(Deuteronomy 6:6-9, 11:18-19)

EDUCATIONAL PHILOSOPHY

Cathedral Christian School adopts the historic Christian view of life as presented in the Bible: Since God created and sustains everything through His Son, Jesus Christ, the world and life are God-centered and should glorify Him.  Man being a sinner by nature and choice, however, cannot in this condition glorify or know God.  He can do this only by being recreated in God's image through committing his life to Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.  The total process of education, therefore, must seek this restoration of the student to the position of true knowledge, righteousness, and holiness in Christ by developing and relating the whole person to God spiritually, academically, socially, and physically.  It must present all truth as God's truth and must be interpreted and integrated with God's Word.  Such education is primarily the parents' responsibility, and the school's function is an extension of the home to aid the parents in giving this education.

ACCREDITATION

Association of Christian School International(ACSI) accredits Cathedral Christian School. The ACSI is recognized by the Commissioner of Education for the state of Texas.  Graduates will have exceeded graduation requirements established by the Texas Education Agency.
