St. Edmund's Academy

A significant part of the 8th Grade experience at St. Edmund's Academy is the completion of an extensive research project. Our senior class dives deep into topics of their choice, centered around a Sustainable Development Goal, practicing the discipline of critical inquiry and research, producing 8- to 12-page papers that showcase their depth of thought, emerging understanding, and exceptional writing skills.

We're proud to share our 8th Graders' research project topics! Each of their topics reflect issues important to them and demonstrate an ability to recognize injustice and challenge themselves to honor the needs and worth of others.

We're proud to celebrate Juneteenth!

As a reminder, SEA is closed Friday, June 19, in recognition of this holiday.

Congratulations to the Class of 2026!

Last night our 8th Graders became our newest alumni in a ceremony celebrated with their teachers, families, and friends. We are so proud of each of you and the work you have done at SEA. Remember, you’ll always be part of the Wolfpack.

The Class of 2026 will matriculate to the following secondary schools: Central Catholic High School, Culver Girls Academy, Culver Military Academy, Duchesne Academy of the Sacred Heart, The Ellis School, The Kiski School, Mercersburg Academy, Oakland Catholic High School, Shady Side Academy, Taylor Allderdice High School, and Wi******er Thurston School.

This morning the SEA Upper School gathered for their End of Year Awards Ceremony, recognizing some of the accomplishments of our oldest students. Included in these recognitions were academic high honors, awards voted on by members of the Faculty, the Athletics Bowl and Spoon Award, and the Performing Arts Cup and Straw Award.

We were honored to welcome several of the people who either established an award, or for whom an award was named. The opportunity for our students to receive their award from these significant members of our community was especially meaningful.

We are proud of all of our students and their accomplishments, and we look forward to their leadership to come, and we’re grateful for everything they bring to the SEA community.
