Catholic liberal education is the cultivation of faith and reason for full human flourishing. Based in the liberal arts and sciences, this educational vision that was developed by the Catholic Church was the gold standard of formation for centuries. The proof of its success? It formed many of the holiest saints and keenest minds in history, including such greats as St. Augustine, St. Thomas Aquinas, St. Thomas More, St. John Henry Newman, and Pope Benedict XVI.
AN EDUCATION FOR THE MIND, HEART, AND SOUL
Students of all abilities and backgrounds flourish as they develop tools of thinking and discover wondrous connections across the curriculum and within the world God made. It is as powerful in the 21st century as it was in the 16th, because it is based in the nature of reality and the nature of the human person.
These students are forming habits of mind and heart that will serve them through life, helping them grow in the theological, intellectual, and moral virtues. Parents want their children to thrive. They grasp the value of this deeply human formation that nurtures the souls, not just the minds, of their children.
St. Edward Catholic School is a fully-accredited parochial school in the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston. Founded in 1972 as the oldest Catholic school in Spring, our purpose has been to provide a quality Catholic education and to enable each child to reach his or her highest potential.
Our school teaches students according to the pillars of love, reason, and service. In partnership with parents we take a holistic approach to education so that each student is nurtured spiritually, intellectually, and physically. Students that come from St. Edward are not only prepared for academic success but to be Catholic examples to the community.
Feel free to call or email us if you would like to schedule an in-person tour. We are happy to answer any questions you may have regarding our curriculum or support programs. We look forward to speaking with you about our approach to partnering with parents in the sacred work of educating children.
"St. Edward Catholic School has been a blessing to me and my family. As an alumnus from the 80's, I always knew that I would send my children here. I will always remember the great teachers and staff who were dedicated to my spiritual growth. I am happy to say that my children are now having the same experiences that I did. The teachers are caring and compassionation to every single child. The Principal, Mrs. Makel, is dedicated to our school and is always there to support us. In addition to loving the teachers, my children have enjoyed being involved in volleyball and art club. I know that my children are getting a well-rounded, Catholic education that will be the foundation of their life-long Catholic faith."
