We believe in providing a holistic approach to educating students with a curriculum that offers academics, athletics and the arts, as well as spiritual and social growth.

Students at Saint Edmond’s Academy build friendships with classmates and mentors that last a lifetime.

These relationships develop over time in a caring, faith-based community in which your sense of values are shared.

We have an accomplished faculty and staff who are devoted to their profession by choosing to place their life’s energy into teaching, coaching and advising our boys.

As a Holy Cross School, we are committed to challenging our students to become creative, engaged and confident young men ready for life. Our founder, the Blessed Father Basil Moreau, believed that, “How we educate the mind will change with the time; how we cultivate the heart will remain timeless.”

Our young scholars explore, discover, build, and create to confidently learn new concepts and skills.

Across each grade level, meeting the needs of our learners is paramount. Seen here, Lower Form students play a Spanish version of "Duck, Duck, Goose" to learn vocabulary.

In the classroom, teachers create a differentiated curriculum to meet the various instructional levels of our students, rich in literacy development, science exploration, mathematics, music, art and technology.

Smaller class sizes at Saint Edmond's Academy offer students the opportunity to interact with their teachers and collaborate with peers in a purposeful manner. Students in grades six through eight lease iPads to learn, research, write, create, and analyze as part of the 1:1 technology initiative. iPad carts are also available at every grade level leading up to grade six.

We believe learning extends beyond the classroom walls. Beginning in grade four, students can participate in our acclaimed spring musical. Here, actors perform a scene from "Peter Pan" in the Rollins Center for the Performing Arts. Female cast and crew could be a sibling or perhaps a faculty member's child.

The Lancer Band at the Academy is offered to fourth through eighth grade instrumental musicians who have demonstrated an advanced level of playing proficiency. The Concert Band is available to beginning instrumental students in the same grades. Students are instructed in music fundamentals alongside instrumental coaching in a traditional concert band setting.

Choral programs at SEA, including The Academy Singers, perform a variety of repertoire to include spirituals, folk music, music of different periods and cultures, religious, musical theatre and film, novelty and popular music. Our singers have been asked to perform in a variety of off- campus venues, including The Delaware Art Museum and The Hotel duPont's Green Room. In August of 2018, Saint Edmond's Academy was invited to sing the Star-Spangled Banner at Citizens Bank Park before the Philadelphia Phillies game.

Coming together. The Leidy Lancer Dash 5K is one of several annual school-wide events that allows the Saint Edmond's community to celebrate a unique camaraderie shared since the school's inception in 1959.
