Professional Development Opportunities
We encourage our teachers to dream big and seek opportunities for growth. The Monarch Annual Fund empowers our faculty to attend national level conferences, participate in leadership cohorts, and we support teachers who want to pursue advanced degrees. The impact is meaningful for our teachers and ultimately for our students.
Tuition Assistance
Approximately 20% of St. Edward students receive some level of financial assistance. The goal of our tuition assistance program is to provide support to families and students who might not otherwise be able to afford a Catholic education. Annually, our financial goal is to raise $40,000 through the annual fund for the Tuition Assistance Program.
