Shadow Day

Become an Edsman for Day! Shadowing a current student is the best way to find out what it’s like to attend St. Edward.

Curious what a day at St. Edward really feels like? Eighth-grade boys are invited to experience it firsthand through the Edsman for a Day experience!

Participants are paired with a current student and spend the day fully immersed in campus life—attending classes, meeting teachers, exploring the school, and sharing lunch with future classmates. From the energy in the hallways to the relationships built in the classroom, visitors get an authentic look at the opportunities and daily experiences that make St. Edward unique.

Whether your son is interested in academics, athletics, the arts, clubs, or simply wants to see if St. Edward feels like the right fit, the Edsman for a Day experience offers the perfect introduction to life as an Eagle.

Registration is required at least two school days prior to your preferred visit date.
