Finding the right place to start your child’s learning adventure is a big decision. That first year is critical in forming your child’s attitude to school. Capture their imagination, and learning becomes an adventure. At the heart of St Edward’s Prep is an innovative curriculum that inspires children to discover the world around them, encourages curiosity and prepares them with the skills and confidence they need to be happy and excel in our rapidly changing world.
