Welcome to St. Edmund Elementary School!
St. Edmund Elementary School is located in Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn, and provides excellence in Catholic education to students from Nursery to Grade Eight. The first graduation from St. Edmund Elementary took place in 1927. The Dominican Sisters of Sparkill were the educational backbone of the school for over 60 years. Our lay faculty carries on their mission to commit ourselves to the goal of the proclamation of the reign of God through a ministry for justice.
St. Edmund Elementary School shares a unique and collaborative relationship with St. Edmund Preparatory High School. The distinctive architectural style of our school building that houses St. Edmund Church creates a charming and peaceful environment that enhances the spirituality that is integral to all academic programs and school activities.
Our dedicated Faculty works diligently to nurture our students spiritual and social/emotional, as well as their academic growth and development. Our goal is to prepare each student to reach his or her goals in a caring and intellectually stimulating learning environment. We invite you and your child to join us in the vibrant community that is St. Edmund Elementary School.
Mission Statement
St. Edmund Elementary School endeavors to educate the whole child: Spiritually, academically, socially and physically, in order to become responsible moral citizens in today’s society. We recognize and celebrate the diverse ethnic backgrounds and heritages of our young men and women, representing more than 26 parishes in the Diocese of Brooklyn; A microcosm of the cosmopolitan nature of New York City.
We believe in providing children with both religious and academic awareness that will enable them to develop a good Christian foundation with the knowledge to help them meet the new and ever changing world that lies ahead. We further believe that it is our ministry to instill critical thinking skills with a strong a moral compass by providing well-rounded academic courses in a stimulating and nurturing environment. Towards that end we believe in developing and maintaining scholastically challenging programs.
At St. Edmund, we envision our school as an academic center founded upon solid Christian and academic principles which will serve our children and reflect their multicultural backgrounds.
