Educating Hearts & Minds Since 1959

Mission
Saint Edmond’s Academy is a community of families, educators, and partners inspired by the values of the Gospel. In the Holy Cross tradition, we are committed to the education of young boys from grades K-8. Incorporating contemporary thought with individualized instruction, a challenging 21st century curriculum, and a focus on the core values of heart, mind, hope, zeal, and family, Saint Edmond’s Academy develops boys of character in a community of faith.

History
Reverend Jacques Dujarie organized the Brothers of Holy Cross, originally called the Brothers of Saint Joseph, as a teaching community in 1820 France. In 1837, Blessed Basil Moreau associated these Brothers with a society of auxiliary priests to establish the Congregation of Holy Cross, a religious community of priests and brothers. After the establishment of the University of Notre Dame in 1842, the Brothers founded additional schools across the country, adding to other Holy Cross schools in Europe and throughout the world.

Core Values
As a Catholic school, rooted in the traditions of Holy Cross education, we are dedicated to empowering our students with values for life. From a young age, students develop an understanding of five core values distilled from the writings of Blessed Basil Moreau- heart, mind, hope, zeal, and family. Students learn to respect themselves and those around them, embracing the likeness and differences of all.

Today we lit the first purple candle to symbolize the first week of Advent. During this first week of Advent, we remember the gift of hope we have in Christ. Loving God, we thank you for the hope you give us. Help us prepare our hearts for the Lord`s coming by being open to see the light of Christ in others.

Jessica is the first of several guest speakers to meet with our 8th graders to discuss potential technology-based career pathways. Thank you for visiting with us, Jessica! #SEALancers

Coming back from Thanksgiving break generates so much energy and conversation!
In ELA, 5th grade students went on a scavenger hunt, matching lettered sheets to corresponding questions about their Thanksgiving breaks. The boys then recorded their answers to share once time was up. (Much to the delight of the class, when looking back at all of the scavenger hunt clues, the big letters on each sheet spelled out W-E-L-C-O-M-E B-A-C-K !😏) #SEALancers #BoysofCharacter

Prior to kicking off our Thanksgiving Break, our Lancers enjoyed the brotherhood and competition of the Annual 8th Grade vs. Faculty/Staff TurkeyBowl! The 8th graders reigned supreme but a great time was enjoyed by all! #SEALancers #BoysofCharacter

“Check” out our decorated tree at Delaware Hospice’s annual Festival of Trees event which took place recently! This was Saint Edmonds’ third donated tree and we are honored to create one every year! 🏎️ 🚦🚧 #SEALancers

Feeling thankful and grateful for our very generous SEA community who donated hundreds of food items to our friends at the St. Patrick’s Center right before Thanksgiving! #SEALancers #BoysofCharacter

Congratulations to our Archmere Thanksgiving Tournament Champions!
