Our Mission

As we work to extend the reign of Christ, it is the mission of St. Edward Academy to support and assist parents in the Catholic education of their children. Under the patronage of St. Edward the Confessor, and while striving for academic excellence, we will work to instill in each child an abiding love of God and neighbor.  Holding up our Blessed Mother Mary as our model and guide, we will assist each other to seek eternal salvation with God in heaven.

  • Supplementing the education that parents are providing at home.in a low-pressure classroom setting  

  • Making a high-quality, low-cost, Catholic education available to all.

  • Maintaining small class size thus allowing for enhanced learning, sharing, and individual attention.

  • ¨Focusing on academic excellence and character development for each student while empowering parents as primary educators to maintain an active role in their child’s education.

  • Imparting the doctrines of our faith in their fullness, as  both knowledge to be learned and a life to be lived.

About St. Edward Academy

St. Edward Academy is a Christ-Centered, Catholic, K—12, hybrid school, working in partnership with parents to provide a quality, Catholic education to each student.
 

Today’s hybrid schools merge many different educational methods.  SEA offers a combination of the best that traditional Catholic schools have to offer along with the flexibility of homeschooling. Hybrid schools have sprung up all over the country and they are legal in Texas.  These schools work well both for parents wanting a traditional Catholic school and also for homeschooling parents who are looking for  more structure.

Curriculum
St. Edward Academy uses Seton Home Study materials and, while not required, families may also enroll with Seton Home Study.

​

We offer a complete program both for elementary school and for our high school program. Elementary subjects include Reading, Composition, Vocabulary, Spelling, Geography, English Grammar, Handwriting, Latin, Math, Science, History and Religion.  High school subjects include Biology, Chemistry, Physical Science, all with labs, Latin, Spanish, American Government, American History, World History, Economics, four years of Religion, Math including Algebra I and II, Geometry and Advanced Math, and English including composition and English literature.

​

The cornerstone of a classical education is Latin. Far from being a dead language, Latin is alive and well and since 60 percent of the English language comes directly from Latin, we speak it every day. Understanding of the English language grows as students learn Latin derivatives, prayers, and vocabulary providing a deep and rich education.
            

Seton Home Study School is recognized by the Bishop of Arlington as a Catholic school in the Diocese of Arlington, Virginia, and is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) and by AdvancED.  In addition, Seton holds a certificate to operate as a private school by the State of Virginia.  Seton registration is separate from SEA registration.   If registering with Seton, along with SEA, a student may graduate with an accredited high school diploma.  To learn more about Seton Home Study, please go to their website at:  http://www.setonhome.org.
