    I love the diversity of our school, and it's something you won't find in other school in the city. The teachers know my kids so well. They treat them like family members, which sounds cliche but is true. They have very high standards for kids in the classrooms but they teach kids how to maintain that level of rigor in an enjoyable way that does not cause them undue anxiety. My kids are learning how to balance their academics, sports, outside activities, and fun with their friends in a way that I envy! Most importantly though, everyone in school reinforces the messages about kindness, consideration, empathy, and respect for differences that we're telling them at home. This was something notably missing from our public school experience and, in my opinion, is worth the financial sacrifice to send them to this school. Choosing this school will likely go down as one of the best decisions I've made for them in their lives. It's a very special place.

    I've so enjoyed working at St. Edmund's! In addition to the community being very welcoming, I appreciate that the Faculty and Staff hold themselves to high standards in their work. We are respected as professionals and colleagues. Support for professional development is high, and the school is continuously improving as a result.
    My two kids have attended St. Edmund’s Academy for 3 years now (lower school). I am so happy to have them here. St. Edmund’s has very strong community-orientation (parents, teachers and administration are very committed to building a strong, tight-knit community). The families come from very diverse backgrounds thus the students naturally have very strong awareness and respect for diversity. This school also embraces its Core Values in its everyday education and student life - I really appreciate the school’s endeavors in this regard. I truly feel welcomed to be part of this community, and do not hesitate to recommend the school to my friends.
