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.
St. Edward Academy proudly provides families seeking a Christ-centered education that forms students in truth, integrity, charity, faith and academic excellence. ​
