Explore Admissions at St. Edmund's Academy
Choosing a school community is a big and exciting decision, and the SEA Admissions team is here to walk with you every step of the way. We see it as a two-way conversation. You’re learning about us, and we’re excited to get to know your family. We’re proud to be Pittsburgh’s most racially diverse independent school and the first to adopt the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals. Only SEA is built around shared Core Values that bring together students and families from all over Pittsburgh, and all over the world. These facts point to a diverse, inclusive, and nurturing learning community where students are known, valued, and challenged to achieve their potential. But you really have to visit SEA to see it all come to life. We can’t wait to meet you and your child and discover all we could do together.

Get to know SEA

Whether you join us on campus or connect virtually, our events are designed to help you experience our community and learn what makes SEA so special.

Personal Tour

There’s no better way to get a feel for St. Edmund’s Academy than by visiting us in person. We offer personal tours for adults most weekday mornings. A member of our Admissions Team will walk you through our classrooms, so that you can see our students engaged in learning, talk to our teachers, and watch our Core Values in action. Your child will have a kid-centered opportunity to get to know SEA when they have their classroom visit as part of their application process. Begin the Inquiry process to set up your tour.

Virtual Information Sessions

Join us live online to hear from school leaders and current parents, ask questions, and get a closer look at our programs. Can’t make it live? No problem! We’re happy to send you a recording.
