The MCS Campaign for the Field House and Early Childhood Education Center

The Madeleine Choir School is a mission of the Cathedral of the Madeleine, serving young people since 1996 in Pre-Kindergarten through Grade Eight. Modeled after the historic cathedral schools in Europe, and more generally after Westminster Cathedral in London, the Choir School offers a rigorous academic program, strong character formation in Christian values and beliefs, and activities designed to nurture the whole child. The Sciences, Language Arts, Mathematics, History, Theology, and two required world languages make up parts of the progressive curriculum.

 

The Choir School offers every student an exceptional musical education, including two years of violin study, music theory and history, and intensive vocal training. Students have the option of participating in alternative enrichment programs should they choose not to participate in a choir. The choristers regularly assist with the worship life of the Cathedral and participate in the Annual Concert Series. In addition, the choristers perform with other major arts organizations including the Utah Symphony, Utah Opera, the Nova Chamber Music Series, and an August 2019 collaboration with Ballet West in a production of The Way of the Rain | Earth Movements, featured in performance at the Eccles Theater for the United Nations 68th Annual Civil Society Conference. 

 

Now entrusted with the care and education of nearly 450 students, The Madeleine Choir School urgently needs to address two specific areas crucial to the continuance of its service to young people and their families: an Early Childhood Education Center, and a Field House. Since the initial planning and conceptual phases of this project, construction costs have skyrocketed, pressing the urgent need to begin construction as soon as possible in order to avoid even greater cost increases.

 

 

The Madeleine Choir School seeks to provide learning opportunities that foster the development of the whole child, beginning in Pre-K 3 and continuing through Eighth Grade. As students grow and mature, we work hard to ensure each child feels accepted and included for who they are and who they become at MCS. Just as our students find belonging on The Madeleine Choir School’s campus, our parents, teachers, alumni, supporters and friends each have a place to belong in our community.
