Our Mission

ST. MICHAEL’S CHOIR SCHOOL was established in 1937 to serve the People of God in the Archdiocese of Toronto by educating and training the boys who sing in the cathedral’s choirs. Service to the Eucharistic community remains at the heart of the choir school’s mission, and this vocation continues to shape and guide all its activities.

The school’s renowned music program receives no public funding. A continued healthy enrolment at the school can be assisted greatly by your support. Your gift to St. Michael’s Choir School can ensure that we do not turn away a musically gifted boy because of limited financial resources, which happens more and more as tuition continues to rise.

About ST. MICHAEL'S CHOIR SCHOOL

With an enrollment limited to 280 boys, St. Michael's Choir School offers a complete curriculum of academic studies from Grades 3 to 12 that meets the highest standards of the school board and the Ontario Ministry of Education. The distinctive learning environment features a strong, supportive sense of community, with individual attention, small class sizes and a focus on preparing for university entrance.

The choral programme is designed to foster a lifelong interest in music: many graduates go on to serve the musical life of their own parishes, while some pursue professional careers in music. The course of study includes daily classroom instruction in music rudiments and singing, weekly individual lessons in piano, organ and other instruments, as well as choral rehearsals and preparation for a regular schedule of performances in the cathedral and at other special events.
