Students and Faculty
The student enrollment at the Choir School is approximately 55. New students are accepted in grade 4, based on the results of a vocal audition and a written academic exam. Students commute to Harvard Square from various cities and towns throughout the greater Boston area, sometimes traveling more than an hour each way. Most students at the Choir School are Roman Catholic and many have previously attended parochial schools, but there are also non-Catholic students.
The administration and faculty include the Pastor, Headmaster, Director of Music, Assistant Organist, academic faculty and several piano teachers. The current Director of Music of the Choir School and St. Paul's Church, John Robinson, was appointed in 2010. He previously served as Assistant Organist at Canterbury Cathedral and Organist at The King's School, Canterbury.

Famous quotes containing the words students and/or faculty:
“We are students of words: we are shut up in schools, and colleges, and recitation-rooms, for ten or fifteen years, and come out at last with a bag of wind, a memory of words, and do not know a thing.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The dramatic art would appear to be rather a feminine art; it contains in itself all the artifices which belong to the province of woman: the desire to please, facility to express emotions and hide defects, and the faculty of assimilation which is the real essence of woman.”
—Sarah Bernhardt (1845–1923)
