St. Edmund's Academy's main admissions season begins in the fall and concludes in March. We are now in a period of rolling admissions for the current school year. We continue to consider new applications as long as there is room in the class, and we also welcome applications to the wait pool since classroom spots do sometimes become available. The financial aid process runs at the same time as the admissions process, so there is limited financial aid available at this time of year. Please do get in touch to ask more about your child's specific grade, and we'll be glad to start the conversation. Contact us at admissions@stedmunds.net.
