iPads: Transformative Technology
The iPad educational apps that Lower School students use at Saint Edward's School support and extend their learning experience in different ways. Spelling practice, novel comprehension, math exercises, video production, robotics programming, engineering design, communication authoring, peer collaboration and new ways to demonstrate learning are just a few of the ways students benefit from access to iPad technology. -
Language: Bilingual Benefits
Studies indicate that there are clear cognitive advantages to learning a second language at an early age. Children who learn a second language demonstrate greater linguistic and cognitive strengths across all subject areas. Early bilingual language learning boosts problem-solving, critical thinking and listening skills, in addition to improving memory and concentration. Students at SES begin learning Spanish in PK3. -
Science: Labs and Life Science
Students begin learning basic lab procedures early in the Lower School with authentic life science lab experiences beginning in Pre-K. Students continue to develop their lab skillsets at every grade level until they are completing independent science labs in fourth and fifth grade. The smallest Pirates learn to dissect owl pellets; older children investigate and analyze our lagoon in-depth, from plankton to mammals.

ME Projects: Personal Growth Perspective
Eighth-grade students reflect on their middle school experience when they prepare and present ME Projects each spring.

The result is a visual representation presented a summary of their findings to their peers, teachers, and family members. -
Seven Habits of Highly Successful Teens
In a course called Seven Habits of Highly Effective Teens, seventh-grade students learn and practice critical life skills like active listening, being proactive, goal setting, how to prioritize, the art of compromise, teamwork, and self-reflection. The ultimate goal is to teach students how to manage and strengthen each of their four key elements: body, brain, heart, and soul. -
Research: Cross-Curricular Collaboration
Research Writing and Technology (RWT) prepares students with the research, writing, and technical skills needed for Night of the Notables (NOTN), a culminating history presentation that focuses on an event or invention of the twentieth century presented through the eyes of the inventor or key person. The students are led through the topic brainstorming process, then they are instructed on best practices to locate resources in our library. Students learn peer editing techniques, MLA formatting, and technical skills needed to write a final research paper and create a final multimedia presentation. -
Science: Discovery and Exploration
Middle School science builds on skills started in the Lower School and spans the breadth of disciplines, beginning with field biology and progressing to chemistry, astronomy and physics. This program culminates with engineering and design as they learn to build and test rockets. Science classrooms feature labs filled with flora, fauna, and physics experiments that extend learning to the next level.
