Cathedral School of Saint Mary has been in continuous operation for more than 156 years. Cathedral School occupies a special place in Texas both physically and spiritually.  We stand in the heart of downtown Austin, the capital of Texas.  Our school is enmeshed in the rich and vibrant history of Texas with educational opportunities right outside our door. Our classrooms are not only located inside our historical buildings but also include the Texas State capital, the University of Texas LBJ Library, the O. Henry Museum, The Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum, and The French Legation Museum, to name just a few.

We stand as a witness to the transformative effect of a traditional classical Catholic education.  Throughout our daily routine, we take the time to make all things sacred and reflective for our students, faculty, and staff.  This allows us to incorporate our Catholic identity into all we do.  Our faculty and staff are committed to forming students both spiritually and physically, thus preparing them for the life of an active and engaged Christian.

We welcome families from over 35 zip codes in and around Austin.  Our diversity is our strength.  We believe that people can come from all walks of life and succeed.  We believe that it is through this diversity that we discover the uniqueness of others and our own unique, Christ-centered place in this world.
