Legacy of Excellence
Established in 1860, the Cathedral and John Connon School has continually evolved to synthesize the grandeur of legacy with contemporary educational and holistic development amongst students. Our community of 1,960 students is divided into four Houses, cultivating a strong sense of belonging, bonding and loyalty. Our wide array of cultural activities and sports include - among others options - debates, dramatics, robotics, elocution, music, football, rugby, squash and swimming—offering students diverse opportunities to engage in personal as well as collaborative growth. Our varied clubs and societies encourage students to
explore new interests and skills, while annual events like the Cathedral MUN, Inquest Science Fair, the Psych-Socio Seminar, the Cathedral Stock Exchange, and the Cathedral Mathematics Competition allow students to showcase their talents across areas and aptitudes. Our emphasis on experiential learning and skill/application-based education complements textbook knowledge while fostering critical thinking, problem-solving, collaboration and creativity among students. By blending the best of the past with modern pedagogical practices, the Cathedral and John Connon School ensures that students are well-equipped for future success as global citizens with adaptability, resilience, cerebral depth, competence, character and compassion.
Our Mission
Melding traditional values into a contemporary, real-world context, the Cathedral and John Connon School aims to provide an education to young minds that will allow them to: learn how to learn, understand how to adapt to the changing world around them, become global citizens who are also fortified with local understanding, develop a sense of international mindedness and cherish the individuality of man as well as the commonality of mankind.
Guiding Principles
At the Cathedral and John Connon School, we believe that education serves to bridge widening gaps in a shrinking world. We endeavour, as individuals and as a community, to be honest - with others and with our own selves and caring, of other people, the Earth, and of our physical environment. As a school, we strive to temper our daily thoughts and actions with a continuous striving for excellence – academic and non-academic, as well as to fortify our students with the core values of honesty, compassion, inclusion, courage, altruism, service and honour.
