Welcome to Catholic Cathedral College, a vibrant co-educational community in the heart of the city. We pride ourselves on being a home away from home for students from all over the world, offering a safe and nurturing environment for Years 7–13.

As Christchurch Central’s central co-educational Year 7–13 school, we offer families the unique advantage of a unified educational pathway. Brothers and sisters can study together on a single city campus from intermediate through to senior secondary school. Guided by our Catholic Special Character, our community emphasises practical values of hospitality, respect, and consistent pastoral care for every student. This structure ensures a smooth academic transition within a stable, supportive environment where every international student is welcomed as a member of our school family.

Co-Educational Special Character School

We are small enough to know every student by name, but large enough to offer diverse academic pathways. Experience an authentic, inclusive school community.

Central City Campus

Our unparalleled downtown location serves as an extended classroom. Students are just a short walk from Tūranga (the city’s world-class library), Riverside Market, and beautiful urban parks.

Global Academic Pathways

We deliver NCEA (National Certificate of Educational Achievement), New Zealand’s globally recognized qualification, offering direct pathways to top international and local universities.
