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.
