Each grading term one student from each grade is chosen for demonstrating outstanding Christian character. 

St. Edmund supplements the current English/Language Arts curriculum with the Accelerated Reading program. Students read books on their ability level and are rewarded for achieving individual goals at the end of each grading term. At the end of the school year, students are recognized for highest growth and achievement.

Each spring St. Edmund library hosts its annual Scholastic Book Fair. The week long event is centered around the love of books. A variety of activities enhance the annual book sale.
