Nationally Ranked for Safety

Austin is the sixth safest city of its size, according to a study by CQ Press, an independent press that publishes books on American government and politics.

Nearly every parent agrees that they want essential skills and career success for their children. When pressed, many admit a deeper desire. They want their children to learn to think for themselves. To evaluate argument and evidence. To develop good judgment and the strategies needed to keep learning.

Parents trust the approach that we take at St. Edward's. A careful balance of classroom and experiential learning. Our emphasis on values, reflection and giving back, not just getting ahead.

We share a common goal — helping your daughter or son develop into an independent adult who takes charge, makes good decisions and dares to take risks. Only then can they truly discover who they are, what they love and how they can best impact others and the world.
