For Choristers and their Families

Download the current Choir School Handbook here. Choristers accepted into the Program must adhere to the choir schedule and must fill out a Letter of Agreement. Download the form here.

The St Paul’s Choir School program has many built-in incentives and rewards; however, parental support and encouragement is essential! During the course of the choir season, the chorister will experience many high points and exciting opportunities. Parents and family members can provide praise and share in the joy and satisfaction of these achievements.

Parents also need to provide the chorister with encouragement and support during those times when he or she may be tired or need a boost in maintaining a positive attitude.
The Choir School program includes a combination of short-term and long-term goals, discipline and a nurturing environment, can be a significant investment in the child’s future.

Choir School families do not have to be members of St Paul’s Church, nor of the Christian faith. We are open to children and youth of all faith traditions.

Parental attendance at Choir School events is optional and is strongly encouraged as choristers seem to especially blossom when parents attend services and concerts in which they sing.

As a full-scholarship program, the Choir School is dependent on volunteers. Parents are needed and invited to support by providing snacks, helping with transportation, and other such activities.

Family members may also wish to volunteer their help in the Program as it continues to grow. Ways you can help:
  • Help with driving and serve as a chaperone for Choristers when we travel;
  • Provide occasional snacks for Wednesday afternoons if you have extra cookies or fruit on hand;
  • Offer any administrative skills you may have, including filing, organizing;
  • Offer to help with vestment care, including washing, fitting, organizing;
  • Fundraising.
