We have been at St. Edward School now for seven years and are so happy to be part of this vibrant, caring community. Our two children are thriving academically, spiritually and socially. The teachers are passionate and truly care for each of their students. The students have art, music and Spanish classes regularly as well as various extracurricular activities available to them. The community is supportive, strong and caring. We highly recommend St. Edward School!

St. Edward has historically offered a very competitive education and prepared the students very well for high school and beyond. What makes St. Edward stand out these days are its people: an efficient and hardworking principal and staff, as well as a forward-thinking pastor who supports the school and its students with boundless enthusiasm! (Although there have been no sports or theater this year, those programs are particularly strong in normal times. The music program continues to flourish, despite the challenges.)

Absolutely love St. Ed's! My daughters look forward to going to school every day. The teachers are kind and caring. The community embraces you and makes you feel welcome. My girls are learning so much and they constantly come home eager to share what they've learned that day. I'd highly recommend St. Ed's to anyone!

I would recommend St. Edward to anyone. In the past couple of years, we have gotten a new Principal and Pastor and it's really invigorated the school for the better. Small class sizes mean teachers know your child and will go out of their way to help as needed. There are many programs available (academic, sports, music, art) to meet the interest of your child. Most of all, I love the friends my children and I have met over the years. The sense of community and we are in this together is strongly felt, especially now.
