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 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.

🛡️ Lancer Alumni Spotlight
From the halls of Saint Edmond`s Academy to the front lines of critical care medicine, we`re proud to celebrate the incredible journey of Dr. Daniel King `02.
After graduating from Saint Edmond`s, Daniel attended the Charter School of Wilmington before earning his B.A. in Biology from the University of Delaware and his M.D. from Ross University School of Medicine. He went on to complete an Internal Medicine Residency at Capital Health, a Critical Care Fellowship at George Washington University Hospital, and a Neurocritical Care Fellowship at the University of North Carolina.
When reflecting on his time at Saint Edmond`s, Daniel shared:
"I enjoyed the science and technology curriculum, which was foundational to my future success as a physician. The resources made available to me to create my own success taught me the importance of dedication and continually improving myself."
Congratulations, Dr. King! Thank you for representing the Lancer spirit with excellence and inspiring the next generation of young men.
Once a Lancer, always a Lancer.

There’s a boy out there who wants to be a Lancer. But his parents just can’t afford the tuition.
His school is large, with overflowing classrooms that just weren’t designed for him. So, his family really wants him to become a Lancer.
They`ve been on tours. They`ve seen the small class sizes. They`ve seen the ways that boys are educated in heart and mind.
But the tuition is keeping their son from becoming a Lancer.
You can change this! A gift of just $23 will provide one day of financial aid for a young boy so he can become a Lancer. You’ll also be supporting all the incredible work at Saint Edmond’s Academy!
Will you make a gift today? Click link in bio to provide financial aid for a young boy!
They don`t just teach lessons.......they inspire dreams, shape character, and change lives.
At Saint Edmond`s Academy, we are incredibly blessed to have teachers who lead with passion, faith, and purpose every single day. They challenge our students to think critically, encourage them to grow with confidence, and remind them that learning is a lifelong journey.
We believe teaching is one of the most important professions in the world because great teachers don`t just prepare students for the next grade, they help prepare them for life.
Together, they are building boys of character in a community of faith and helping shape the next generation of compassionate leaders.
To our amazing faculty: Thank you for all that you do. Your dedication leaves a lasting impact on every Lancer who walks through our doors.
