St. Edward School in Chicago, Illinois, was founded in 1910 by the Dominican Sisters of Springfield, Illinois. "Academic Excellence, Christian Values, and a Caring Community" succinctly describe our Mission Statement. We emphasize educating the whole child: socially, emotionally, intellectually, physically, artistically, and spiritually. We provide a full spectrum of classes in which every student is instilled with life-long learning skills in order to serve one another and the global community. We hold the students to high academic standards, striving for excellence, while preparing them for high school and career readiness. 
      Through the partnership with IL tax credit scholarship program, our St. Ed's affiliated scholarships, and our Big Red Auction we have reduced the cost of tution for qualifying families. It is through the generosity of these donors, and the dedication of our faculty and staff that we offer students a solid academic foundation. Our students go on to attend well-reputed Catholic and public high schools throughout the city of Chicago.

      In 2017, we were proud to receive the National Blue Ribbon Award. We continue to improve our school in hopes of receiving recognition again.
