SAINT THOMAS CHOIR SCHOOL
The Choir School is a boarding school for boys in grades three through eight who are members of the Saint Thomas Choir of Men and Boys. All boys board at the school through the academic year, which runs from early September to early June.
Third grade boys participate in a modified, five-day boarding plan and are not permitted to remain at school on weekends. Therefore, grade three boys must live in the metropolitan area. Beginning with grade four, boys join the school from across the country and all participate in a seven-day boarding program to accommodate their choral duties. Admission is on a rolling basis and boys may enter the school until Christmas of their fifth grade year.
The school offers a challenging pre-preparatory curriculum, inter-scholastic sports, and musical training. An average class size of eight students ensures each boy of individual attention both in the classroom and out. A Choir School education prepares young boys to face the future with hope and confidence. For information regarding admission to the Choir School, contact Ruth Cobb, rcobb@choirschool.org, or, 212-247-3311.
THE SAINT THOMAS CHOIR of MEN AND BOYS
The Saint Thomas Choir of Men and Boys is considered to be the premiere choral ensemble of the Anglican music tradition in the United States and among the finest in the world.
The Choir presents an annual Concert Series with a period instrument orchestra from October to May in addition to singing four weekly Evensong services, Sunday Eucharist, and numerous liturgical feast day services throughout the year. The rehearsal schedule requires the preparation of an astounding four hundred pieces of sacred music a year. The men of the choir are professional singers; the boys attend Saint Thomas Choir School, the only church related boarding choir school in the United States, and one of only a few choir schools remaining in the world. 
The Choir has performed in the U.S. and internationally in annual tours. Choir concerts and services have been broadcast nationally and abroad, among them, their world premiere performance of Andrew Lloyd Webber's Requiem with Placido Domingo at Saint Thomas Church, taped by the BBC and televised internationally. The Choir has recorded both their own repertory of music from the fifteenth century to contemporary works, currently totaling over twenty recordings.
