How does NCS help students feel a sense of belonging?

National Cathedral School (NCS) goes out of its way to make students feel seen and supported. For example, each grade has a private lounge—a cozy space just for relaxing or chatting with friends. Traditions like painting senior tiles or ringing a bell for college acceptances help students leave their mark and celebrate each other’s success. Even small things, like themed dress-up days and Pi Day festivities, bring everyone together and create shared memories. These events, led by students and staff alike, help build a close-knit community. Whether you’re new or have been at NCS for years, there’s always a space for you.
