Ask many people what makes for a life well lived, and the answer will likely include some combination of an enduring passion for something, varied interests, commitment to physical fitness, work / life balance, strong relationships, caring for others, and a visceral sense of right and wrong.

However, cultivating and nurturing that kind of well-roundedness in young people is easier said than done. There are schools that specialize in athletic excellence, and many more that focus on academic greatness. But finding a home for learning that offers both of those opportunities, while not diminishing the other? That can be a tall order. And, all too often, students, and their parents, are forced to choose between them.

Fortunately, it’s a choice that those who attend Edge School never have to make. We are widely acknowledged for the prowess of our athletic programs… but don’t be fooled by the hype or the trophies. The real reason we get up every morning, is our overriding mission: to fully develop our students’ great passion for sport, for sure—but also to turn it into an equal zeal for learning, and personal integrity. Our balanced approach to developing academics, athletics, and character is how we create well-rounded individuals who are uncommonly equipped to excel in all aspects of their lives.

To ensure it happens, we are a truly one-of-a-kind school where teachers, coaches and trainers, while highly accomplished in, and fully dedicated to, their chosen fields—are yet more devoted to the overall success of their charges. Our small class sizes and unique collegiate feel, guarantees the individual attention so vital to discovering where students truly excel, and never letting it drown out everything else that leads to a fulfilling, rewarding life.

We do all this because we wholeheartedly believe “Personal Best” should never just be a goal for the ice, field, court, stage, studio, or track. We believe our kids should strive for it every day, in every aspect of their lives. As students and athletes now, and as partners, parents, business leaders, sports figures, and community members in the future. As a result, we know Edge graduates are prepared to be the best humans they can be, no matter what path they choose in life.
