The Madeleine Choir School began as a small elementary school for children in grades four through eight in the basement of the Cathedral Church. With 108 students, the school opened its doors in August of 1996, and through the generosity of so many continued to develop and grow, moving to its current 2.5 acre campus in December or 2002. Expanding down to Kindergarten and eventually adding a Pre-K program, the school now has over 230 students.
After months of study and review, the school is set to announce that it will expand to a second Kindergarten class this fall as it commences its fifteenth year of service. This will allow the school to enroll 48 youngsters in its Kindergarten program rather than the current 24. Each year, the school will add an additional class per grade level, ending with two classes in each grade level in the school year 2018.
The school is deeply grateful to its many donors and supporters, and is very excited to be able offer its unique educational program to more children in the Greater Salt Lake City Metropolitan area.

Fifteen years! I can't believe that so much time has passed since my own time at MCS. Congratulations on this continuing development of your vision, Greg. All my best from Oregon (to follow Kathleen's lead)!

Kathleen and Sarah: Great to hear from you. Hard to believe isn't it? The challenges remain but our hope is to continue having a very positive impact on the lives of the young people with whom we are entrusted. Please keep me posted on what you are doing! G Glenn
Great news! Being an admirer from afar who visits the Madeleine on occasion, I'm very glad to hear the school is prospering.
