Opposite the Cathedral was the original St. John’s School, which has now been relocated to a larger facility. There is mention of the school as early as 1814. John L. Stephens, in his book, “Incidents of travel in Central America, Guatemala and Yucatan,” wrote that when he arrived in Belize in 1839 he visited the school and states that was a school for both white and black children. The school was under the immediate superintendence of the Rector. From the early days of 1814 the Cathedral continues to support the schools of the Parish through a Church-State partnership. The teachers of St. John’s School, together with the Sunday School, represent a long list of Church and National builders.

Today the Cathedral also operates the one Anglican High School in Belize, the Anglican Cathedral College.

The Cathedral also regularly hosts children from a number of the Anglican Schools in Belize City for regular week-day worship.
