Saint Edmond's Academy

Today, Saint Edmond’s officially dedicated (and consecrated) the Wagner-Szczerba Engineering, Design & Gaming Experience Arena, commonly called the EDGE Arena. Ms. Wagner-Szczerba, the facility’s benefactor, was joined by school administration, board members, benefactors, parents, teachers & 7th grader students-- as well as very excited eighth grade Lancers anxious to show off their capstone projects demonstrating their proficiency in Python programming language, and electrical & mechanical engineering! Throughout the eighth grade year, students applied their understanding of computer science principles to authentic problems they identified, marrying their understanding of the Python computer language to the principles of design and engineering. This showcase served as the true measure of the success of the EDGE Arena and its programs. “Boys at this age thrive when learning is authentic, inquiry-based, related to their lived experiences, and technology-based,” comments Dr. Reichert. “These incredibly inventive and creative projects proved that theory, and I am incredibly proud of the work our boys put into their projects! This facility has absolutely helped our students tap into new areas that interest them, gain exposure to meaningful skills, and find and develop their passion.” #SEALancers #coding #electricalengineer #mechanicalengineer #STEM #problemsolving #middleschool #delaware #EDGE #python #computerscience

Over the last two years, Saint Edmond's Academy has been undergoing a self-study, a critical part of our efforts to maintain accreditation through the Middle States Association Commissions on Elementary and Secondary Schools. This self-study culminated in a visit from a team of educators this week who entrenched themselves in our community, becoming a 'critical friend' to assess our accreditation status and offer commendations and recommendations. Please join us in celebrating not only this accomplishment but moreso the words in this report that so eloquently describe our community. https://lnkd.in/eyuvwv5f Photo by Bryan Sargent Photography

After learning about the ins and outs of World War I, Mr. Taylor’s seventh graders demonstrated their understanding of the devastation caused by trench warfare by building virtual trenches through Minecraft in the Wagner-Szczerba EDGE Arena. Rather than taking a test to demonstrate their understanding, Lancer students are challenged to leverage their creativity through hands on, project-based, and often cross curricular learning.
