Catholic Urban Partnership

From Infancy to College: A Catholic Pathway for Boston Scholars

Together, Mission Grammar School and Cathedral High School are building something extraordinary: a continuum of Catholic education beginning at three months old and extending through 12th grade, college, and beyond. This seamless pathway is rooted in Gospel values and centered on the academic, social, emotional, and personal growth of each scholar.

The partnership began during the 2014–2015 school year, when Mission Grammar strengthened its focus on providing an exceptional Early Childhood and Pre-K through 6th grade educational experience, while Cathedral continued to develop its rigorous 7th through 12th grade college preparatory program.

Mission Grammar scholars graduate from 6th grade with a strong academic foundation, a deep connection to their faith and community, and a clear understanding that high school is the next step on their Road to College. Cathedral provides the next chapter, a Catholic, college-preparatory high school experience that builds on the foundation established at Mission and prepares scholars for success in college, career, and life.



Supported by the Catholic Schools Foundation

The Catholic Schools Foundation (CSF) provides scholarship support that helps make Catholic education accessible to students and families throughout Greater Boston. Through its support of the Mission Grammar–Cathedral pathway, CSF helps create greater continuity and opportunity for scholars as they move from elementary school into Catholic high school.
